Country Director Finland
At EasyPark, we love cities. We love them for work, for play and everything in between. That’s why our mission is to make life in cities that much easier – by taking care of the parking. With the use of technology, we break barriers, helping improve the urban experience. Our aim is to create a scenario where parking supply and driver demand are balanced not due to additional parking spots and fewer cars, but thanks to predictive technology that connects our users to available spots.

As country director for Finland, you will lead the Finnish Business-to-Parking-Operator commercial organization and oversee the business results for the Finnish organization.

Internally you will work closely with Product, PR/Comms, Marketing, and Legal. EasyPark Group is a value-driven organisation, and the Country Director must lead by example, providing leadership and guidance to the organisation's staff in the country. As such, you will lead the Finnish leadership team (who may or may not report directly to you) and you will lead the larger team through transitions in times of change, while also being the public spokesperson in local media.
You will contribute & make an impact through:
- Gaining deep knowledge of the Finnish parking market, including B2B and B2C competitors, and overseeing all players in the parking and mobility value chain.
