Turn rider and community feedback into tangible improvements, spotting patterns and collaborating with internal teams to make thoughtful and actionable operational improvements. Use data and technology to understand service performance, diagnose problems, and implement solutions that enhance efficiency and rider experience. Act as the operational bridge between city partners, drivers, and Via central teams to help bring the community's goals to life. Who You Are: Operationally experienced, with a background in people management, logistics, customer service, or process-oriented work. Relationship oriented, earning trust from drivers, riders, teammates, and city partners through clear communication and follow-through. Hands-on and proactive, preferring to be in the field, learning the service firsthand, and solving problems where they happen. Tactical and #J-18808-Ljbffr

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
