We are growing fast, and we are looking for a Customer Service Team Lead to help us get to the next level.

Who would have thought that parking could be this exciting? Parkster was born out of a simple but powerful idea: no one should get a parking ticket just because life gets in the way. Started in Lund, Sweden in 2010 as a smart counter-reaction to a frustrating parking landscape, we have grown into one of Sweden's, Germany's, and Austria's leading parking apps.

We build software that makes life easier for thousands of people, every day. We believe in real trust with our customers - open, direct, and honest. We want that same spirit inside our own team: at Parkster, everyone is encouraged to get involved, share ideas, and take ownership.

The location for this position is in Munich. You will report to the Global Head of Customer Service in Sweden.

Customer Service at Parkster

At Parkster, we aim to make parking effortless. But when things go wrong, our Customer Service team steps in to solve issues fast so users can get on with their day.

We don't hide behind chatbots or endless FAQs. We believe in real human availability, fast response times, and taking direct responsibility when something breaks.

Having recently launched a new ticketing system and built our own dedicated 1st-line team, we’re well on our way, but we still have plenty of exciting work ahead. That’s where you come in.

About the role

As Team Lead for Customer Service in Germany and Austria, you will own the operational delivery and strategic direction for our support function across internal teams and external call center partners.

By mentoring your team, optimizing smart processes, and driving growth within the German leadership team, you will ensure our customer service remains a key driver of Parkster's expansion.

You will, among other things...

• Lead, mentor, and align a rapidly growing internal team (currently 8) and an external 5-agent call center partner to operate as one unified, high-performing unit.

• Collaborate within the German leadership team to handle office-related topics and drive cross-functional scaling initiatives.

• Travel periodically to our HQ in Lund, Sweden, and our external call center partner in Nürnberg to maintain strong cross-border alignment.
