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

Pulley is growing quickly, and we're hiring a Senior Recruiter to own hiring across Sales, Marketing, Business Operations, and other G&A functions. You'll work directly with function leaders to help Pulley navigate our next stage of growth.

Many of these won't be cookie-cutter searches. You'll need to understand the business need behind a hire, turn it into a clear talent strategy, find the right people, and help us close them.

We're looking for someone who can operate as both a recruiter and a talent partner: excellent at execution, but also able to bring judgment, market knowledge, and a point of view to the hiring process.

Partner with founders and hiring leaders to define roles and build search strategies

Develop a deep understanding of each function you recruit for so you can evaluate candidates beyond what's written on a resume

Bring market data and candidate feedback back to hiring managers and recommend changes when a search isn't working

Build trust with candidates and help close them through competing opportunities and offers

Maintain a high and consistent hiring bar while helping teams make fast, well-informed decisions

Own your recruiting funnel and use data to identify where we can improve conversion, speed, and/or candidate quality
