Job description

EZSpot is the peer-to-peer parking marketplace connecting drivers with real people who have real spaces, surfacing a previously untapped source of supply for urban parking. We're well-funded, growing fast, and looking to expand our team. We need the right people to continue to help us grow in Los Angeles, then scale to new cities!

About the Role

EZSpot grows one neighbor at a time. People oftentimes decide to join the platform because someone explained it to them, answered their questions, and made it a seamless experience. In this role, you will be that someone and a key driver of growth.

The work itself is a mix of in-person engagement around Los Angeles and hands-on work with our hosts and drivers. We'll be out in neighborhoods, at community events, and with local businesses. Back on the computer, we'll help people get set up, keep them engaged, and tell the team what we are learning from users to help shape our growth.

What You'll Do

• Represent EZSpot in-person across the city: at community events, neighborhood canvassing and door-to-door conversations, and in conversations with local organizations.
• Help new hosts get their first listings up and running.
• Reconnect with hosts and drivers who have drifted or gone quiet, and help them find value in EZSpot again.
• Be a go-to point of contact for users with questions or problems.
• Bring back what you're hearing: objections, ideas, feature requests, and confusion so that we can shape what we are delivering.
• Use EZSpot the way our hosts and drivers do, and flag any product features that are broken, confusing, or have room for improvement.
• Spearhead partnership opportunities with businesses, organizations, and community groups.

What We're Looking For

Background

• Entrepreneurial spirit—you will be one of the founding BDRs. This is not a "9-5 and call it a day," we do everything we can to make EZSpot a successful business, and we expect the same passion from anyone joining our team. This can involve occasional evenings and weekends for events.
• Intrinsic drive: You hold yourself to a high standard when nobody is watching.
• Coachability: Ask for feedback and act on it. You're comfortable adapting and improving.
• Resilience: Day-to-day results, conversations, events, etc. can all go differently. We all keep a positive mindset and bring our best energy to the next task.

A bachelor's degree is preferred, but not required. A display of excellence in lieu of bachelors degree is suitable as well.

• Comfortable communicating with strangers, both in-person and virtually
• Organized
• Comfortable learning new apps, software, and tools
• Attentive to details, so much so that you put #EZSpot at the end of your resume

Personal Characteristics

• Reliable and punctual
• Our team is regularly out at events and in neighborhoods around SF, so you'll need to be comfortable being up and on your feet often
• Curious
• Willing to pitch in wherever the team needs you
• Excited to help build something early and see the impact of your work

Travel & Training

• Travel up to 10% of the year, including overnight stays, to support market launches, team events, and training in San Francisco. All travel expenses are fully covered by EZSpot.
• Reliable transportation to travel between neighborhoods, events, and partner locations across Los Angeles & Orange County.

Compensation & Other Details

• Fast promotion path as the company scales
• Equity upside
