Role
Who you are
- You’ll need natural leadership skills and the ability to rally others around an initiative you’re pursuing, as well as strong communication skills to maintain momentum on a team that is primarily remote
- 4+ years of experience as a PM
- Strong decision-making skills — you will need to decide what to build and why, which isn't just about listening to customers tell you what features they want
- Technical background that enables you to convey product requirements to engineers and relay complicated details to non-technical colleagues and customers
- A passion for organization and documentation - this role is all about communicating while efficiently managing projects with many moving parts
- Strong verbal and written communication skills - ability to garner buy-in, explain tradeoffs, and keep stakeholders up to date
- Fundamental understanding of good UX design — you’re compelled to make things look beautiful and work flawlessly
- A growth mindset -- you should be a lifelong learner, hungry to challenge yourself and grow
What the job involves
- As the foundational Product hire at AirGarage, you’ll have a high-impact opportunity to shape a product that powers parking garages across the country and is used daily by thousands of people
- This is not just a strategy role, you’ll need to be tactical as well
- You will be leading meetings, conducting customer research, defining product requirements, and working with our design, operations, and engineering teams to deliver an outstanding product for our customers
- Product Management is a fairly technical role at AirGarage
- While you won’t be coding, we expect PMs to have a fundamental understanding of how web apps work and know enough about software to be dangerous
- What we build often lives and operates in the physical world, so understanding what makes these systems tick is crucial to identifying product opportunities
- Devise strategy, define product requirements, and ensure the outcome hits the mark by collaborating with sales, operations, and AirGarage’s leadership team
- Lead effective product meetings and run sprint cadences with our engineering team
- Collaborate with designers using tools like Figma to prototype, refine, and implement creative solutions to customer problems
- Organize feedback, bugs, and ideas into a development backlog
- Talk to our two customer segments (parking asset owners and drivers) to develop a deep understanding of their needs. You’ll need to know the market, our product, and the competition extremely well. You’ll learn to finish our customers’ sentences, which means talking to a lot of them in order to understand the root of a problem
- Advocate for the customer and drive clear prioritization and efficient execution in the face of ambiguity and complexity
- Use data and A/B testing frameworks like LaunchDarkly to glean insights and make informed decisions
- Balance urgent short term requests with important long term business opportunities and growth levers
- Communicate internally and externally. You will help write documentation, deliver updates to other internal teams, help craft marketing messaging, assemble presentations, and more
Our take
The parking industry has long adhered to traditional practices, relying on attendants and disparate payment and management systems. However, AirGarage is changing the landscape by providing software and management services to parking lot and garage owners. With its all-encompassing approach spanning from signage installation to payment handling and even parking enforcement.
One of AirGarage's key innovations is its revenue-sharing model, offering property owners a favorable 70-30 split and full transparency on earnings. This approach addresses the longstanding issue of parking managers reaping their share of revenue, leading property owners with just a fraction of the income generated by their spaces. With over 200 locations across 30 states under its management, AirGarage has become a pivotal player in reshaping the parking industry.
In 2021 the company closed its Series A funding round. That capital injection has gone towards expanding its software and services, catering not only to personal vehicle parking but also accommodating food trucks and cloud kitchens in need of parking and storage solutions. The future looks promising for AirGarage as it continues to modernize and streamline an industry ripe for technological transformation.
