## About Pulley

Pulley helps the country’s top architects, builders, and retailers speed up every project in their portfolio. With AI-powered permitting intelligence and expert guidance, we eliminate costly delays and bring predictability across the full lifecycle of commercial projects.

Today, permitting is the slowest, most uncertain part of building, spread across 19,000+ jurisdictions with different rules, timelines, and surprises. Pulley gives project teams the clarity and predictability they need to move from planning to opening without delays.

We support rollout programs for brands like J.Crew, Solidcore, and Hibbett Sports, as well as major data center buildouts, EV charging networks, and other commercial projects. Our platform dramatically reduces approval timelines, improves forecasting accuracy, and removes thousands of hours of manual work from design and construction teams.

Founded in 2021, Pulley combines deep permitting expertise with purpose-built AI from people who have created products used by millions. We’re backed by CRV, Susa Ventures, Fifth Wall, and leaders from Plaid, Segment, ServiceTitan, and Procore.

- Support our lead project managers in delivering great permitting outcomes for customers
- Help conduct permit research with a high degree of accuracy
- Assist in preparing permit plans
- Collaborate with city staff on nuances and ambiguities
- Monitor permit status and ensure timely responses
- Provide feedback to product & engineering teams to help refine our software platform
- Work with permitting leadership to refine our standard operating procedures

- 3+ years in either construction management or architecture, with a focus on project management
- Experience applying for and obtaining construction permits
- Ability to research permit requirements with accuracy
- Comfortable interfacing city staff and navigating administrative processes
