Drivers across the nation use the SpotHero mobile app or website to reserve convenient, affordable parking in advance, on-the-go or through their connected cars, and parking companies rely on us to help them reach new customers while optimizing their business. We connect the dots with cutting-edge technology, delivering value to both sides of this exciting, evolving marketplace.

What you have:
- 3+ years of experience as a full-cycle recruiter, sourcer, or talent acquisition specialist. Bonus points if you've recruited for Finance, Accounting, and Account Management roles!
