About Parkade

At Parkade, we’re on a mission to transform the way buildings think about and manage their parking. Our platform helps multifamily and commercial properties unlock new revenue, streamline operations, and deliver a dramatically better experience for tenants and residents ("parkers"). We’re a fast-growing, venture-backed startup with an ambitious team and a huge opportunity ahead of us.

We have a network of properties we currently work with, and we're growing that footprint every day. We need to get these new buildings and parkers successfully on our platform, while also ensuring that our existing customers have a top-notch parking experience; that's where you come in.
