Who You Are

An experienced people leader: you have experience directly managing and developing a team, with a track record of coaching others, giving thoughtful feedback, and creating an environment where people can grow and succeed.

A strong operator: you bring 4+ years of experience in an operational, technical, product, or cross-functional role, and you're comfortable navigating ambiguity, balancing competing priorities, and finding a way forward when the path isn't obvious.

Technically comfortable: you can engage with data and product work, understand complex problems, and build trust with technical teams without needing to be the most technical person in the room.

A strong project manager: you bring structure to complex work, keep multiple priorities moving, and balance attention to detail with the bigger picture.

A clear communicator: you build trust quickly across functions and are equally comfortable in an engineering discussion, a product conversation, or a business planning session.

Nice to Have

Bonus points if you have experience working with data, Python, and/or common transit data formats (GTFS, TransXChange, SIRI, HAFAS, etc.), but it's not a requirement. What matters most to us is your curiosity: the willingness to dive into new topics, figure things out, and keep learning.
