At Parkade, were 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. Were now ready to get Parkade into every apartment, condo, and office building in the US, and to do that, we need you.

Were 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; well 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.
