About UnlockLand

UnlockLand is an AI-powered platform that simplifies zoning research and development feasibility for real estate professionals. We translate complex zoning regulations into instant, data-backed development options.

Responsibilities

  • Review zoning outputs generated by the platform and flag inconsistencies
  • Provide insights into how planners interpret edge cases (e.g., setbacks, conditional density)
  • Suggest how specific bylaws or overlays could be handled in logic models
  • Collaborate with product, data, and design teams on UX and zoning interpretation
  • (Optional) Assist with writing planning content, analysis templates, or explainer tools

Requirements

Qualifications

  • Experience working in urban planning, zoning review, or development approvals
  • Strong knowledge of municipal bylaws, particularly in Canadian contexts (Vancouver a plus)
  • Comfortable reviewing zoning maps, development policies, and parsing complex text
  • Bonus: Experience with GIS, CAD, or zoning logic systems
  • Able to communicate clearly and provide structured feedback
