Via is using technology to transform transportation around the world. From changing a single person’s daily commute to reducing humanity’s collective environmental footprint — we’ve got huge goals.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the development and launch of a new product that helps transit agencies deliver reliable and efficient service to their communities. This role offers the unique opportunity to create from the ground up while leveraging the strengths of an established platform to maximize impact. You will drive this new product from inception through execution, collaborating closely with product managers, product designers, engineers, and other cross-functional team members to shape this new product.

What You'll Do:

  • Understand transit and transportation planners’ needs through frequent customer interviews and tracked customer requests.
  • Synthesize these needs into a product strategy & prioritization framework with clear measurable goals and get buy-in from cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Work closely with the engineering and design teams to scope, design, build, and iterate features that advance this strategy
  • Work with marketing and success teams to communicate and roll out this new product to customers
  • Measure the results, learn, and iterate
  • Stay current with industry trends to drive innovation and prepare the team for emerging challenges.

Who You Are:

  • An experienced product manager, with a minimum of 5-7 years of experience in startups or large companies operating on a global scale
  • A “simplifier” who breaks down complex logical and technical concepts and readily finds product-oriented solutions to divergent customer requests
  • You can quickly and independently learn about new, highly technical and specialized domains
  •  A team player, with great communication/listening skills and a can-do attitude
  • You have a natural empathy for users and instincts for what makes a great software product
  • Demonstrated success in handling an end-to-end product lifecycle with the ability to drive product planning, development, and launch
  • You are entrepreneurial, comfortable with ambiguity and have a bias for action
  • You take a deeply collaborative approach to your work
  • You have passion and energy that inspires others

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Final salary will be determined by the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and skills. Salary reflected does not include equity or variable pay, where applicable
  • Salary Range: $150,000-$200,000
  • We are proud to offer a generous and comprehensive benefits package, including free medical plans and 401K matching

We’re Via, and we build technology that changes the way the world moves. We pioneered the TransitTech category to ensure that the future of transportation is shared, dynamic public mobility — the kind that reduces carbon emissions across congested cities, minimizes reliance on private cars, and provides everyone with accessible, efficient, and affordable ways of getting around. 

We created the first end-to-end TransitTech solution for cities and transit agencies, offering world-class software, service design, and operational expertise to fundamentally improve the way the world moves.

Via was founded with the guiding principle that we go further when we go together. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. All backgrounds, identities, and voices are welcomed and celebrated at Via.
