At Parkade, we're transforming how parking works at private buildings to create a world with far less parking — one where every parking spot is available at the push of a button. Want to be a part of it? Hundreds of existing customers love Parkade, and investors do, too — having just funded our Series A. We're now ready to get Parkade into every apartment, condo, and office building in the US, and to do that, we need you.
We're looking for creative and strategic finance operator to join us as our finance leader, and first overall finance/accounting employee. The role may be Director or VP level, depending on experience.
We have hundreds of customers around the globe; we'll hit $5M ARR in Q1 2025, process $25M+ in payments annually, and we just closed a large Series A from a syndicate of current and potential customers.
This role is absolutely key to keeping Parkade on the path to hit $50M in ARR by the end of 2026, by building our the right process, team, reporting, and strategy.
Note: The title (Head of/VP/Director) is still a bit in flux, and may depend on the candidate.

What We Do
Parkade's core focus is multi-family buildings and offices, allowing management to easily lease spots digitally through our app to residents, guests and employees. And, when people lease assigned spots long-term, they can reshare their spot when it's vacant — hugely increasing parking capacity and reliability. We are replacing spreadsheets and manual, antiquated processes and helping our customers grow revenue. The broader mission is focused on making parking easier, managing it better, and create more space for affordable housing, parks, and more walkable cities.
Why Work With Us
We have a real-world impact that makes Property Managers' and tenant's lives easier, with a broader mission of better and more affordable cities. Our team is lean, and we are growing sustainably. You'll be at the ground level of shaping our culture and building a product that has a tangible impact on the lives of anyone who parks a car.
