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.

The Role

In the Associate Project Manager, Research role, you’ll drive fast, accurate permitting research that powers Pulley’s next generation of products and services.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end completion of permit research projects
  • Collaborate closely with AI/engineering teams to improve research accuracy, speed, and automation
  • Provide structured outputs that feed directly into customer-facing Permit Guides

Who You Are

To be successful in this role, you are likely someone with:

  • 3+ years of experience in architecture, construction management or a related permitting/project management function
  • A background in commercial/retail permitting
  • Strong research skills with an emphasis on accuracy and clarity
  • Ability to collaborate with engineers, product teams, and permitting leaders
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset
