The Role
Lead finance operations at Parkade, focusing on strategic growth, budgeting, investor relations, financial reporting, and team management to support rapid scaling.
Summary Generated by Built In

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.

About you

  • 7+ years of progressive experience in finance-leadership roles, with a focus on startups and growth-stage companies

  • Prior financial leadership at a startup that grew from $5M ARR to $25-50M and raised at least $10M in venture capital during your time there

  • Strong financial modeling, analysis and spreadsheet skills, with the ability to interpret complex financial data and communicate insights effectively

  • Solid understanding of financial reporting standards, GAAP principles, accounting, spreadsheets, and regulatory compliance requirements. You've worked closely with accounting in multiple roles

  • Excellent operational skills across a mix of areas, from managing vendor relationships to keeping tabs on accounts receivable to overseeing a rotating mix of insurance needs

  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate with cross-functional teams

  • Strategic thinker with a results-driven mindset and a strong focus on driving business growth and value creation

About the role

  • Board/investor relations: Create the vital materials for and present to our board. Take point on future fundraising (process, due diligence, etc), own reporting to major investors, manage day-to-day investor relations. 

  • FP&A: Move us from a world without set budgets to an annual, board-approved set of budgets, goals, and forecasts.

  • Product: Partner with product, design, engineering, and operations teams to push for changes to our product — or entirely new products — to improve market share, improve unit economics, and drive more growth. 

  • Reporting: Take over Parkade's homespun data reporting system, and work cross-functionally to put more scalable systems in place. Ensure metrics are accurate and visible to everyone who should have them.

  • Sales collaboration: Manage revenue, pay sales commissions, work collaboratively to creatively structure sales deals for mutual benefit between Parkade and our customers.

  • Treasury: Manage our cash flows, and ensure we have the right amounts in the right accounts, and plan ahead for big outflows of cash. 

  • Tax: Review tax policies and ensure we and our customers are in compliance.

  • Accounting: Manage our outside accountant and eventually hire a controller or accountant. This includes AP/AR, and working with operations to improve processes. 

  • Expenses: Design and foster a great expensing experience for our employees that balances thrift and good incentives with a great employee experience. 

Misc: Help with options plans, 409(a), lease management, etc.

Bonus

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred)

Location

We're a hybrid team with about half the company working out of our San Francisco-Mission office. We have a strong preference, in this order, for someone in:

  1. San Francisco, who's willing to be in our office (mix of in-person and remote)

  2. Los Angeles or Long Beach (mix of LGB office 1x week/SF 1-2x month)

  3. Another part of California or its neighboring states (remote)

Applicants in other locations may apply, but we are prioritizing these areas.

What We Do

Parkade helps modernize how parking works at 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.
