About the Opportunity
We are converting a gated parking garage at a full-service hotel in Boston from hotel-guest-only use to commercial public parking. The garage runs on a modern TIBA parking access and revenue control system (PARCS) with license plate recognition (LPR).
We have made a deliberate decision to self-manage rather than hand the asset to a third-party parking management company. We already own the technology. What we need is one sharp commercial mind to own pricing, distribution, and performance.
This is a real P&L role with real latitude. The garage has never been sold to the public before — you would be building the commercial operation from zero, working directly with ownership, with roughly 100 spaces per day of sellable capacity in one of the most parking-constrained submarkets in the country.
What You'll Do
- Build the rate card. Hourly, daily max, evening/weekend, overnight, event flat rates, monthly tiers, EV-reserved premium — benchmarked against a live competitive set, not inherited from the hotel's legacy pricing.
- Launch and manage online channels. Take the garage live on SpotHero and ParkWhiz; build and maintain the Google Business Profile; manage listings, inventory caps, and rate rules.
- Run revenue and yield management. Set dynamic pricing floors and ceilings. Build the event calendar (Symphony Hall, Hynes Convention Center, Fenway, Berklee) and price surge windows against it.
- Analyze utilization. Pull occupancy data from TIBA and build the daypart, day-of-week, and seasonal picture that drives every pricing decision.
- Protect the hotel guest. Enforce a reserved-capacity rule that dynamically caps public inventory against hotel occupancy so commercial demand never displaces a hotel guest. This is non-negotiable and it is your responsibility.
- Grow contract revenue. Work the monthly and institutional pipeline — neighboring residential towers, universities, hospitals, and hotels without their own parking.
- Set up validation programs with neighboring restaurants and retail.
- Report monthly. Occupancy by segment, revenue per available space, channel mix, commission drag, direct-booking share, monthly-contract churn.
What We're Looking For
Required
- 3+ years in parking operations, parking revenue management, or hotel revenue management
- Hands-on experience with a PARCS platform — TIBA strongly preferred; Amano McGann, Skidata, Flash, T2, or equivalent considered
- Direct experience listing and managing inventory on SpotHero and/or ParkWhiz
- Strong Excel — you can build a rate model and read a utilization curve without being walked through it
- Able to own an independent workstream remotely with minimal supervision
Nice to Have
- TIBA SPARK platform / SmartConnect API experience
- Background in hotel asset management, hospitality, or commercial real estate
- SQL or Python for data pulls
- Experience negotiating institutional or monthly parking contracts
- Boston / Back Bay market familiarity
Why This Role Is Interesting
Most parking analysts sit inside a large operator and optimize someone else's asset inside someone else's constraints. Here, you are the revenue function. You report to ownership, you set the strategy, and you see the results of your own pricing decisions in the monthly numbers.
The asset has good bones: modern LPR, a dense Back Bay location, and demand generators on every side — a convention center next door, a concert hall down the street, two universities, a hospital, and a cluster of residential towers that can't park their own guests. None of that demand has ever been sold to.
If you know this business and want a flexible, remote, part-time engagement with genuine ownership of the outcome, we'd like to hear from you.
