Project Manager

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.

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.

• 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.).
