About AirGarage
AirGarage is repurposing the 30% of real estate in the average American city currently dedicated to parking.
We are building a future where real estate is digitized and can be transitioned from one use to another seamlessly on-demand, moving every piece of urban real estate toward its highest and best use.
We are starting with the $131 billion US parking real estate market because it is one of the most offline and mismanaged commercial real estate asset types.
As a full-stack parking operator, we automate the operation of parking lots and parking garages. We handle everything from advertising to collecting payments from drivers and enforcing against illegal parking. We already operate 250+ parking lots and parking garages across 35 US states and we are growing quickly.
We are backed by top tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more.

THE ROLE
As the foundational Product hire at AirGarage, you'll have a high-impact opportunity to shape a product that powers parking garages across the country and is used daily by thousands of people.

Product Management is a fairly technical role at AirGarage. While you won't be coding, we expect PMs to have a fundamental understanding of how web apps work and know enough about software to be dangerous.

You'll need to know the market, our product, and the competition extremely well. You'll learn to finish our customers' sentences, which means talking to a lot of them in order to understand the root of a problem.Advocate for the customer and drive clear prioritization and efficient execution in the face of ambiguity and complexity.Use data and A/B testing frameworks like LaunchDarkly to glean insights and make informed decisions.Balance urgent short term requests with important long term business opportunities and growth levers.Communicate internally and externally. You will help write documentation, deliver updates to other internal teams, help craft marketing messaging, assemble presentations, and more.WHAT YOU NEED
