Associate Product Manager, Data & Internal Systems

Inter Park is the largest privately owned and operated commercial parking asset company in the U.S. We own and operate parking assets in 16 of America’s largest cities with two customer-facing brands: iParkit which operates our central business district garages and Pre Flight which operates our off-airport facilities.

Inter Park was founded in 1997 and is a leader in parking real estate acquisitions, development and best-in-class operating technology.

Product management is evolving. The most impactful product managers won’t be those who launch new applications—they’ll be the ones who deeply understand how data and business processes move through an organization and use that understanding to eliminate friction, reduce manual work, and surface the right information at the right moment.

As Associate Product Manager of Data & Internal Systems, you will partner with Accounting, Operations, and IT to map, challenge, and continuously improve how our internal platforms work—from the moment data enters a system to how it’s stored, categorized, and consumed by downstream applications and teams.

You deploy problem-first product thinking. This is not a role that rebuilds systems for the sake of modernization. You will understand root problems to solve and diagnose whether a new purpose-built application is needed or if an entire process needs to be reimagined. You will report directly to the Senior Product Manager of Technology and Platforms.

• Investigate process and application pain points with Accounting, Finance, Operations, and IT before proposing any solution; solutions should solve problems, not replace systems
• Understand end-to-end process and data life cycles, from input sources through storage, transformation, categorization, and application output to identify inefficiencies and where ambiguity occur
• Serve as a consistent, trusted point of contact for Accounting, Operations, Data Analytics and IT on internal system needs, including the ERP and roadmap priorities
• Work cross-departmentally to understand data flow gaps, identify repetitive or judgment-light internal workflows that are candidates for AI-assisted automation, light-weight applications or intelligent routing
• Understand Inter Park’s data framework, any dependencies and their downstream impact and be part of Inter Park’s AI-integration
• Facilitate cross-functional working sessions to align on process design and build consensus on change initiatives
• Be able to write product requirements and work with IT on building internal software applications
• Define success metrics for initiatives including time saved, improved business analysis, and productivity

• You ask “why does this process exist” before asking “how do we automate it”
• You communicate clearly in writing; requirements, status updates, and decision rationale are crisp and unambiguous
• You can write a good AI prompt and critically evaluate its output. You can use AI to do set-up technical work — querying data, drafting requirements, exploring a system — without needing a developer in the room
• You are equally comfortable in a whiteboard session with Operations as you are in a technical discussion with IT
• You understand that AI outputs are only as good as the data and processes that feed them and default to fixing the upstream problem rather than papering over it with a model
• You treat internal users with the same rigor and empathy you’d apply to an external customer
• You are self-starter who can take a loosely defined goal, put structure around it and define project success
• Must have unrestricted authorization to work in US.
• Must be at least 18 years of age. If working at an off-airport location, you must be 21 years or older based on airport requirements.
• Must be willing to submit to and pass a background investigation, drug test and reference checks.
• Must possess vision…
