About the role

What You’ll Do:

As PermitFlow’s Chief of Staff, you will play a crucial role in supporting the Co-Founders and leadership team at a growing B2B construction tech startup. This role will have the opportunity to work on high impact projects and will serve as an extension of the Co-Founders to the broader team.

Your role will primarily focus on:

  • Strategic Partner: You will be the right hand to both Co-Founders at PermitFlow, with full access to the calendar, shadowing critical meetings, and leading important business and product deliverables. Discretion is key. You will have a strong ability to determine who to cascade information and updates to.
  • Collaboration: You will be in constant lockstep with the Co-Founders and serve as a delegate on occasion, taking on varied tasks across the company's global presence. A proactive approach is key as you will need to be two steps ahead of the Co-Founders and anticipate their needs.
  • Special Projects: You will take on special assignments at the request of the Co-Founders and Leadership Team, which may include areas such as product development, finance and people operations.
  • Communication: You will serve as a communication link between teams across the startup to gather insight and updates on various company-wide matters, ensuring all necessary stakeholders are in the loop. Being able to keep the Co-Founders and Leadership team aligned and on the same page is key.
  • Operations: You will oversee and manage operational tasks, both internal (e.g., meeting preparation) and external (e.g., sending investor updates) as needed.

The ideal candidate for this role is a proactive team player, strategic thinker and able to use discretion when necessary.

Qualifications & Fit:

  • 2+ years of experience in a consulting, high-growth tech company or equivalent role, with a preference for experience in the real estate / construction industry.
  • Strong ability to collaborate across multiple personalities and teams.
  • Highly resourceful - you are able to find answers and information independently or identify the correct person to go to for information.
  • High degree of communication and organization, with a proactive problem-solving attitude.
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity and quickly switch context between shifting priorities.
  • Bonus points for entrepreneurial experience, ownership mentality, and experience at an early stage startup.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity packages
  • Home office & equipment stipend
  • Flexible working hours & unlimited PTO
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
