About the role

🏗️ About PermitFlow

PermitFlow is building the first end-to-end permitting platform, modernizing how projects across industries—residential, commercial, solar, EV, and beyond—move from concept to construction. Permitting is often the #1 cause of project delays, and we're on a mission to fix it.

Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Initialized Capital, we’re creating the category-defining pre-construction platform in a $35B+ market. Whether you're supporting a regional builder, a national solar installer, or a commercial development firm, PermitFlow helps teams permit faster, more efficiently, and with greater predictability.

🚀 Why PermitFlow Wants You

We’re hiring an Enterprise Account Executive to help large-scale organizations modernize how they manage permitting. You’ll partner with executives, operators, and cross-functional stakeholders at Fortune 500 corporations, national builders, commercial developers, solar installers, and more to guide them through the shift from fragmented, manual, and expensive processes to a unified, technology-first workflow.

You’ll own complex, multi-stakeholder deals—often $300K+ ACV—with longer sales cycles that require deep discovery, thoughtful problem-solving, and a change management mindset. This isn’t about selling a point solution—it’s about delivering real operational transformation.

Ideally, you’re based in NYC or willing to relocate for hybrid work. We’re currently hybrid in-person 3 days/week in our NYC office.

  • Maintain tight pipeline hygiene, forecasting accuracy, and internal deal visibility throughout long sales cycles
  • Provide feedback loops to Product, Ops, and GTM to help evolve our platform and enterprise motion

đź§  Who You Are

  • Enterprise Sales Experience: 8+ years of full-cycle B2B sales experience, including experience closing $300K+ ACV deals with long sales cycles and multiple stakeholders
  • Problem-Solver & Strategist: Skilled at mapping complex workflows, surfacing operational inefficiencies, and building tailored solutions that create measurable value
  • Change Management Leader: Comfortable guiding orgs through transformation—whether replacing legacy systems, expensive expediters, or fragmented internal processes
