Onboarding Lead - job 1 of 2

About AirGarage

AirGarage is on a mission to bring real estate online, starting with parking.

We replace broken parking machines, fragmented software, and manual, labor-intensive operations with a unified, data-rich operating system for parking real estate. We handle everything it takes to run and optimize a parking asset: payments, dynamic pricing, enforcement, license plate recognition, analytics, and more.

By building all of our technology in-house, we are able to deliver a magical experience for drivers while providing real-time visibility and revenue increases of 20-50% or more for real estate owners. That’s why national real‑estate leaders like Hines and Greystar, as well as technology companies like Meta, partner with AirGarage to optimize their parking facilities.

AirGarage uses datapoints like real-time occupancy, local events, weather, driver behavior, competitor pricing, and more to bring true intelligence to real estate owners’ assets for the first time.

We’re investing aggressively to make the physical world legible to a digital system: cameras, sensors, and software that generate a firehose of real-time data about the world around us. That data fuels models and algorithms that allow us to optimize performance at each property while giving owners the clarity and control they’ve never had before.

Before you can optimize an asset, you need to observe it. Before you can observe it, you need to bring it online.

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. 26% of the land area in the median American urban core is dedicated to parking.

We are backed by top tier investors including Headline Growth, Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more.

THE ROLE 👋

The Onboarding Lead will own the end-to-end onboarding experience for new AirGarage partners. From the moment a deal closes through the go live date, this role is responsible for orchestrating a smooth, world-class transition to AirGarage’s platform.

You will be the main point of contact for all stakeholders—property owners, tenants, internal teams, and vendors—ensuring that each new location goes live successfully, with a high-quality experience that builds trust and sets the foundation for long-term success.

This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of sales, operations, hardware, and partner success, requiring meticulous organization, excellent communication skills, and a deep commitment to delivering an exceptional partner experience.

WHAT YOU WILL DO 🧠

Own the Launch Process for New Properties:

• Act as the primary owner of each new locations onboarding, from the moment a deal is closed to one week post-launch.

• Develop and execute detailed onboarding plans tailored to each property.

• Coordinate across hardware, permitting, compliance, and central ops teams to ensure all launch dependencies are met.

Be the Point of Contact for Partners and Stakeholders:

• Serve as the main liaison for property owners, tenants, and other stakeholders throughout the onboarding process.

• Proactively manage communications and set clear expectations around timelines and deliverables.

• Build strong, trust-based relationships with partners by providing timely updates, solving issues quickly, and anticipating needs.

Drive Internal Execution and Accountability:

• Ensure that all internal teams involved in onboarding are aligned and working toward the same goals.

• Surface blockers, escalate issues, and solve problems in real time to keep projects on track.

• Implement and refine playbooks to improve onboarding speed, consistency, and quality.

Measure and Improve the Onboarding Experience:

• Gather feedback from partners and internal teams to continuously improve the process.

• Work with leadership to scale the onboarding function and build a repeatable, scalable system.

• Identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the onboarding workflow and implement process improvements to increase speed, consistency, and reliability across all launches.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to document and standardize best practices, creating internal playbooks and SOPs that ensure a repeatable, scalable onboarding process.

Create and Refine Client-Facing Onboarding Materials:

• Develop high-quality onboarding collateral, including welcome packets, training guides, transition checklists, and FAQs tailored to various partner types.

• Continuously improve the clarity, consistency, and professionalism of all client-facing materials to ensure they reflect AirGarage’s brand and values.

• Work with design, marketing, and product teams to align messaging across platforms and touch points during the onboarding phase.

• Incorporate partner feedback to iterate and enhance the materials used throughout the onboarding journey.

• Maintain a library of up-to-date templates and resources that can be easily customized and scaled as AirGarage grows.

WHAT YOU NEED ✅

• 3+ years of experience in partner success, implementation, project management, or operations, ideally in a fast-paced startup or tech-enabled services environment.

• Willingness to travel to new location launches (roughly 25% travel).

• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills—you are equally comfortable working with external stakeholders and internal technical teams.

• Strong project management skills, with a track record of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives to successful outcomes.

• Ability to think critically, solve problems proactively, and stay calm under pressure.

• A genuine desire to create great experiences for partners and internal teams alike.

IMPORTANT NOTE 🚨

AirGarage is a remote-first company, but we also value in-person collaboration to strengthen trust and teamwork. Team members should expect ~6 weeks of travel per year for:

• 2–3 full company offsites, “Remote Weeks”

• Lending a hand to support 2 new location launches

• In-person onboarding as well as supporting other onboarding sessions for new team members

The rest of the year, team members can work remotely from wherever (US time zones) they’re most comfortable as long as they are performing well in their role. Attendance at in-person events throughout the year is expected—if you’re not open to traveling ~6 weeks per year for work, this role isn’t a good fit for you.
