- Support special projects in different areas as needed to address current challenges
- Lead and mentor your colleagues and foster a collaborative culture across the organization
Who You Are:
- An exceptional leader: people love working with you and for you
- A strong generalist: you don’t hesitate to roll up your sleeves and can support strategic initiatives in different fields as needed
- A great communicator in English and German: you can lead discussions in both languages at C1 level and have the ability to explain technical concepts to a non-technical audience
- A data-driven operator: you will uncover trends and use data to improve our business
- Keen to take ownership: you want to have full responsibility for a service and work to make it better every day
- Informed by experience: you have 4+ years of experience to guide you, ideally in a partner facing role
What We Offer:
- Joining a global employer with over 700 mobility deployments in 40+ countries

Founded in 2012, Via pioneered the TransitTech category by using new technologies to develop public mobility systems — optimizing networks of buses, shuttles, wheelchair accessible vehicles, school buses, autonomous vehicles, and electric vehicles around the globe.
Building the world's most efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation network for all passengers — including those with limited mobility, those without smartphones, and unbanked populations — Via works with its partners to lower the costs of public transit while providing transportation options that rival the convenience of a personal car while reducing environmental impact.
At the intersection of transportation and technology, Via is a visionary market leader that combines software innovation with sophisticated service design and operational expertise to fundamentally improve the way the world moves.
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 anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. All backgrounds, identities, and voices are welcomed and celebrated at Via.
