We're a post-revenue, funded startup, leveraging real-world data to improve how people get around cities and campuses. Modii offers comprehensive solutions for end-users and administrators alike: our Parking Finder helps people make smart transportation and parking choices in cities and at universities, while our Admin Dashboard equips administrators with sophisticated tools to analyze, plan and manage parking operations effortlessly.

As a team, we value Innovation, Customer Satisfaction, Transparency, Collaboration and Excellence and sit remotely across the U.S. and Australia.

While contracted Parking Data Collectors collaborate primarily with our Project Manager and Customer Success team, we aim for you to enjoy your time with us and value your critical contributions toward the improvement of our data collection processes and buildout of our customer solutions.

About the Role

Modii is working with the City of Grand Rapids, to digitize downtown Grand Rapids on-street parking assets. We're looking for 2 contractors to collect the on-the-ground data required for our Customer Success, Product and Engineering teams to map Grand Rapid's parking and street assets and develop tailored software solutions.

You will receive a "data collection kit" by mail with equipment necessary for collection. The kit will come with prepaid postage, and final payment will be contingent on the return of this equipment at the conclusion of the contract period.

*Data collection hours will be self-directed within a timeframe advised by the Project Manager, and weekly remote progress check-ins will be based on schedules and set during onboarding. The anticipated contracting window may fluctuate based on project needs and contractor schedules.
