About the role
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.
About
the Role As a Strategic Account Lead, you'll own 1–2 of Pulley's largest enterprise accounts — you're the main point of contact for the customer and the link between what they need and what our internal teams deliver. You keep the customer confident and informed, keep our team stocked with the context it needs, and step in early when something needs attention. This role fits someone genuinely customer-obsessed: you treat the customer's goals as your own, stay a step ahead of what they'll ask for, and measure your success by theirs. This role is remote and designed for someone who wants to be embedded near the customer they support.
What You'll Do Portfolio Visibility & Program Coordination: Keep a current view of your account's full project portfolio — not to manage individual projects, but to represent the program confidently, catch patterns early, and keep everyone aligned. Meet regularly with Regional Leads to check on project health, flag anything that could affect delivery, and make sure internal teams have the context they need. Customer Relationship Management: Be the go-to contact for decision-makers throughout the account. Build trust through consistent, proactive communication. Lead regular check-ins and monthly account reviews, and partner with the Account Executive on QBRs and renewals. When needed, represent the customer in city and AHJ meetings alongside our Permit Ops team. Stakeholder Onboarding & Program Growth: As the account grows, onboard new stakeholders on both sides — training new members of the customer's team and bringing in outside collaborators like architects and engineers of record. Internal Resource & Cross-Functional Enablement: Act as the internal voice of the customer. Turn what you're hearing from the account into clear, useful input for Regional Leads, Head of Permitting, Operations, Product, or Sales. Help unblock issues only the customer relationship can solve, and push for process improvements that make the program work better for everyone.
