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.\nDespite 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.\nAs 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.\nWe’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.\nOur 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.\nAbout the Role\nThe 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.\nAs 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.\nYou'll own deals end-to-end and have the trust to shape where PermitFlow goes next.\nWhat You'll Do\nTechnical 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.\n\nMap the Market: Track competitors, new entrants, potential partners, funding, and deal activity across construction tech, vertical AI, and the markets we serve.\n\nOwn the Pipeline: Source, evaluate, and rank acquisition, strategic investment, and partnership opportunities across permitting, compliance, construction software, and adjacent workflows.\n\nSet Partnership Priorities: Evaluate partnership opportunities against company goals, decide which to pursue and in what order, and hand clear priorities to the Head of Partnerships.\n\nMake the Build, Buy, or Partner Call: Build business cases and financial models that give leadership a clear recommendation on each opportunity.\n\nRun Deals End-to-End: Lead each acquisition, strategic investment, and equity or transaction-style partnership from first outreach through diligence, valuation, negotiation, and close.\n\nLead Cross-Functional Diligence: Coordinate Finance, Legal, Product, Engineering, and Operations through diligence and deal execution.\n\nDrive Integration: Own post-close integration plans with the teams involved, and track whether each deal delivers on its thesis.\n\nReview Partnership Results: Measure live partnerships against their original thesis and recommend where to double down or exit.\n\nBuild the Network: Build lasting relationships with founders, bankers, investors, and strategic partners so the best deals come to us first.\n\nBring Decisions to Leadership and the Board: Turn complex analysis into clear, short recommendations for the exec team and board.\n\nWho You Are\n5+ years in investment banking, private equity, growth equity, corporate development, or M&A-focused strategy work at a high-growth company.\n\nDeal operator: you have sourced, led diligence, negotiated, and closed M&A or strategic investments yourself.\n\nStrong modeler: valuation, deal, and operating models are second nature.\n\nSharp judgment: you can learn a business fast and spot the two or three factors that matter most.\n\nClear prioritizer: you can weigh competing opportunities against company goals and make a firm call on what to pursue.\n\nCommercial negotiator: comfortable across the table from founders, executives, and sophisticated counterparties.\n\nStructured communicator: distills complexity into simple, actionable recommendations.\n\nBuilder mindset: comfortable with limited process, a lot of ambiguity, and full ownership from idea to integration.\n\nBonus: experience in construction, vertical SaaS, or regulated markets.\n\nExcited to build at a hyper-scale startup redefining how America builds.\n\nHybrid in NYC: in office Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.\n\nPermitFlow provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or family status, as protected by applicable law.\nWe are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities. All employment decisions are based on merit, qualifications, and business needs.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5658,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["PropTech","Construction Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T19:23:47Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":190833,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-08T10:45:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":99,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/permitflow-corporate-business-development-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/permitflow-corporate-business-development-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T13:59:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29621,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":14635},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=14635"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpermitflow-corporate-business-development-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpermitflow-corporate-business-development-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpermitflow-corporate-business-development-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/permitflow-corporate-business-development-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpermitflow-corporate-business-development-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3763818}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"permitflow.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3763818},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
