Company mission
To create a more livable, more affordable, more mobile work - with far fewer parking spots.
Role
Who you are
- At least 5 years of product management experience at startups or growth-stage companies
- A strong executor: You don’t need to be the "big ideas" person — we need someone who can take a vision and make it real
- Experience working directly with technology startup founders/CEOs, and shipping in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments
- A deep sense of customer empathy, attention to detail, and obsession with quality -- intuition as a PM is crucial
- Comfortable wearing many hats. You love going outside your core role, and doing whatever needs to be done
- Off-the-charts attention to detail. You can easily spot out-of-place pixels or remember how six different use cases each look a bit different in a flow
- Familiarity with mobile and web platforms; you’ve worked on mobile, mobile web, and just web; you don’t need to code, but you feel comfortable discussing technical details and questions with engineers
- Comfort with project management tools (ideally Jira), wiki software (ideally Confluence) and Figma -- bonus if you can sketch wireframes or simple mocks
Desirable
- You have a strong interest in urban design, transportation, cities. You want to change how people get places, and how real estate is built/operated
- You’ve worked in complex operational businesses that processed payments, and/or have experience with combined hardware and software products
- Experience with processing payments and/or marketplaces
What the job involves
- Our CEO was Lyft’s first product manager, and has single-handedly led product at Parkade until now. But, as our engineering team has grown substantially, he’s ready to hand over the reins to our first dedicated product manager
- You’ll be the central force driving execution, owning the day-to-day product operations, and helping shape the next evolution of our roadmap
- Execution + Team Syncing (80%)
- Own the full product development lifecycle: write detailed specs, manage sprints, coordinate internal communications, and keep everything moving
- Be the connective tissue across teams, from engineering and design to sales and support
- Talk with users, QA features before and after they ship, maintain documentation, manage bug triage, and lead planning meetings
- Handle the prep work for new initiatives: talk to potential partners, research integrations, negotiate pricing and gather customer insights
- Ensure smooth launches and communicate product changes internally and externally
- Shape roadmap (20%)
- Partner with our CEO to help define and refine our product roadmap
- Collect input from across the company to adjust priorities based on real-time feedback
- Build a perspective on where our product should go — and win buy-in from leadership to get there
- Track competitors and market shifts (including AVs and mobility trends) to keep us ahead
Our take
Inefficiencies in the way parking is handled, especially in the US, have led to an overabundance of parking lots taking up land that could be better used by communities. Parkade aims to revolutionize parking at offices and apartment buildings with its parking spot reservation and management app.
With the Parkade app for tenant buildings, users can reserve, change, pay for, share and report problems with their parking spots. Its automated parking spot leasing covers any duration of lease, and expands parking capacity by making it simple to share unused spaces. The company's offering for offices enables businesses to switch their parking facilities to a lease model, giving them better control over how parking space is utilized in their lots.
With the ultimate aim to enable future structures to be built with less parking, Parkade has set its sight on real impact for city planning and optimized spaces. Funds raised by the company are cited to help broaden and accelerate product development, as well as fuel a period of aggresive expansion.
