Aimo Park is looking for an Innovation Lead

At Aimo Park we are on a mission to rethink parking

We are a parking company. Always have, and always will be. But what that means, is up to us. By rethinking how parking can influence mobility and simplify people’s everyday lives – we have embarked upon a journey. We want to become a vital part of the transition toward smarter cities and more environmentally friendly transports, where parking is no longer a final destination, but part of the journey.

About us

Our company build on over 60 years of experience in the parking industry, but the current Aimo Park was formed in 2019 when Sumitomo Corporation, a Japanese trading company ranked Fortune Global 500 for 25 consecutive years, acquired the operations in Sweden, Norway and Finland from the Dutch group Q-Park in order to invest in and position future mobility services. Aimo Park also has a daughter company for car sharing, Aimo Solutions.

Aimo Park is the leading parking company in the Nordics with around 370.000 parking spots on over 6000 locations, 800 employees, solid financial performance with millions of users and a turnover of 228M Euro.

Through our Innovation Lab, Aimo X, in Stockholm we continuously explore and experiment with new possibilities and opportunities related to mobility. We are looking for ideas that are unexpected but obvious, that create value for society, our customers and end users. And for Aimo Park.
