USA remote
Corporate & Business Development Manager
About this role
PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. We’re an applied AI company serving the nation’s builders, tackling one of the largest information challenges in the economy: understanding what can be built, where, and how. Our AI agent workforce helps the fastest-growing construction companies navigate everything from permitting and licensing to inspections and project closeouts – accelerating housing, clean-energy, and infrastructure development across the country.
Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence. As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.
We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, https://www.permitflow.com/blog/permitflow-series-b from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7401703305569275904/, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber. Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week).
We prefer NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation. ABOUT THE ROLE The Corporate Development function decides where PermitFlow should build, buy, and partner to accelerate growth. We look for deals that expand our product, open new routes to market, and move us deeper into the workflow of every construction project. As a Corporate Development Manager, you'll work directly with our leadership team to find the right acquisition and investment targets, build the case for each one, and drive it from first call through close and integration.
You'll also set partnership priorities: deciding which partnerships matter most given our broader business goals. This is a rare chance for a proven dealmaker to build this function at a venture-backed, hypergrowth company and see each deal show up in company results. You'll own deals end-to-end and have the trust to shape where PermitFlow goes next. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Technical Judgment: Demonstrate strong technical judgment to critically evaluate target technologies and partner platforms, assess product-market fit, and align M&A or partnership strategies with long-term engineering roadmaps.
