Job description

This is an opportunity in the exciting and fast-growing transportation technology industry. Public transit is being transformed from a system of static, scheduled fixed-routes, to a dynamic on-demand network, and you’ll be one of the pioneers shaping this transformation.

RideCo is hiring a Project Manager who will join the organization as a Business Data Analyst and ideally transition into a Project Manager role over time. This transition will be dependent on individual performance and business needs.

Why do we do this? At RideCo, we’ve seen a clear pattern of success : our top Project Managers are those who first mastered the art of data analysis, client service launches and program management. By bridging the gap between data and action, this career track ensures our leaders have the technical depth and analytical grounding needed to drive high-impact results.

As a Business Data Analyst , you’ll be responsible for working directly with clients in face-to-face virtual or in-person meetings, analyzing client operations data, working with project managers on project implementations, running service simulations, assessing key performance indicators, proactively driving client operational improvements, and providing technical systems support for multiple clients. You will develop a deep understanding of urban mobility challenges faced by transit operators. You will become an expert on RideCo’s technology platform and data-driven design and operation of transportation services.

As Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing multiple concurrent client projects from beginning to end, delivering customer success while ensuring adherence to scope, timeline, and budget.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include :

  • Program management :  Plan and execute initiatives as per the project timeline. Develop and administer the project budget and resource management. Help manage junior team members and subcontractors. Identify, assess, and mitigate risks. Facilitate communication and coordination between project stakeholders including transit planners, senior management, marketing, and operations staff.
  • Support new service launches :  Support the implementation team by assisting with service modeling, siting analysis, end-user training, managing subcontractors, testing, monitoring KPIs, and on-site activities.
  • Client stakeholder management :  Build relationships with stakeholders, understand and manage expectations, provide status updates, identify and mitigate stakeholder concerns and risks, and facilitate collaborative decision making.
  • Prepare reports and presentations :  Utilize reports and / or presentations to inform and influence stakeholders and decision-makers. Work with the project’s technical staff to distill insights into easily understandable and persuasive written communications, for a variety of stakeholders.
  • Mentor and coach :  Advise team members to accomplish project goals and resolve technical / operational issues.
  • Drive continuous improvement :  Build, maintain, and train internally on project management best practices for micro-transit rollouts. Collaboratively develop weekly / monthly actions to drive continuous improvements, and to achieve the service’s objectives (e.g. user experience, ridership, operating efficiency, financials etc.).
  • Improve internal processes and tooling :  Identify ways to further automate and systematize our internal processes. Collaboratively champion internal process / tooling improvements.
  • Educate :  Continuously expand the collective knowledge base of the company through multi-disciplinary learning and knowledge sharing.
  • Other duties / projects as assigned.

Preferred Qualifications and Experience :

  • Education :  Post-secondary degree in Business / Engineering / Finance, or related discipline
  • 3 to 8 years of experience in a project management role
  • Project Management certification : PMP or CAPM (or equivalent experience) considered an asset
  • Top-notch communicator :  Strong written / oral communication and presentation skills. Experience preparing reports for management
  • Data Story-Teller :  Proficient in Excel and Microsoft Office tools. Experience analyzing data and creating data-driven narratives and presentations
  • Location : Based in Waterloo, Ontario
  • Willing to travel at least 20% of working time, as needed
  • Compensation and Benefits :

  • Base Salary : $80K – 90K (as a Business Analyst) $95K - $120K (as a Project Manager) + performance-based bonus + stock options
  • Work-Life Balance & Additional Perks :  Flex-time work schedules, vacation time, bi-weekly catered lunches, social events, casual dress code
  • Benefits Plan : Medical, dental, prescription, life / health spending accounts and more
  • Work Environment :   Located in KW's most desirable work space in the heart of Uptown Waterloo
  • Commuter Program :   Complimentary rides to and from work in Waterloo Region
