In 1989 he joined Price Waterhouse (later PricewaterhouseCoopers) "PwC", rising to become a partner in 2006 and acting as the company's lead for housing and communities.
He managed their relationship with the Labour Party for five years, from 2010 to 2015.

He left PwC in 2016, setting up his own management consultancy, RP Strategy, working with SMEs and initiatives including housing, green investment and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

During the campaign, West Midlands Police confirmed that it was assessing allegations by Gary Sambrook, a Conservative MP, that Parker may have breached electoral law as his home address was outside the West Midlands Combined Authority boundary.
Parker commented that he had "a base in Birmingham that I’ve been using to fulfil my campaign."
It was then confirmed by West Midlands Police that the allegations were unfounded, and that there was “no criminal offence to investigate”.
Parker has a home in Barnt Green, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, a holiday home in Cornwall, and rents a flat in the city centre of Birmingham.
