Permitting & Environmental Manager

This is a full-time, permanent position based in San Francisco. Role We're looking for a detail-oriented environmental or permitting professional who can help us structure and maintain high-quality regulatory data across federal, state, and local jurisdictions. This is a role for someone who can move between deep focus and big-picture thinking - digging into zoning codes, verifying environmental regulations, and shaping how that information fuels automated permitting and due diligence. If you've worked with permits or compliance data and want to help modernize the process that governs how infrastructure gets built, this role is for you. Key responsibilities: Review and quality-check permitting and regulatory datasets for accuracy and completeness. Research and interpret environmental and land-use regulations across jurisdictions. Structure and tag information so it can power automation and compliance workflows. Identify data gaps and inconsistencies, then define how to fix them. Collaborate with engineers and analysts to turn complex regulations into structured logic. Develop internal standards and documentation for data quality and coverage. Requirements You've worked in permitting, environmental compliance, or regulatory analysis for several years. You're meticulous with details but can also connect dots across complex systems. You're curious about how data and AI can simplify environmental review and approvals. You're comfortable balancing repetitive quality control with independent critical thinking. You take pride in knowing your work shapes how energy and infrastructure projects move forward. Further Preferred Experience: Experience with GIS or spatial datasets. Familiarity with NEPA, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, or state equivalents. Prior experience in environmental consulting, data QA, or government permitting.
