General Manager

Dallas-Fort Worth, TX; Austin, TX; Houston, TX; Denver, CO

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.

As a General Manager, you will manage a first-of-its-kind, intermodal transit service while gaining exposure to a fast-paced tech company. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and partnership management within a fast-growing tech company. 

This is not a role where you will be following a playbook, you will be building the plane while flying it - making it a challenging people-facing role that spans entrepreneurship, business development and operations management. We hope you are up for it!

Who You Are:

  • Strategic leader with 6+ years of experience, with a track record of driving strategy and leading complex operations; Bachelor’s degree required

  • Savvy and tactful communicator: you intuitively find the right tone in every situation
  • Foster a culture deeply committed to providing a world class customer service experience
  • Strong analytical thinker who uses data to guide strategy, not just report outcomes.
  • Experienced and exceptional leader: people love working with you and for you, and you have extensive experience leading teams
  • Flexible and adaptable: you love the challenge of adapting to change rapidly and making things work on the fly
  • Effective at managing multiple tasks simultaneously; you can delegate, prioritize, and take responsibility
  • Problem solver; you don’t accept the status quo and are always looking for creative solutions

What You'll Do:

  • Own and manage the end-to-end operating strategy of Via’s services on behalf of our partner.
  • Manage the financial performance of the service, including managing P&L, forecasting budgets, and driving strategy to improve profitability and efficiency.
  • Develop and continuously refine operating plans, staffing models, and scheduling strategies for a 24/7 operation.
  • Partner cross-functionally within Via to lead initiatives that improve efficiency, reliability, and customer experience.
  • Serve as the face of the operation, building trusted relationships with drivers, customers, community stakeholders, and local partners.
  • Drive continuous improvement by defining KPIs, analyzing performance trends, and translating insights into action on a weekly and monthly basis.
  • Prepare and present reports that communicate performance, risks, and opportunities to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant federal, state, local and company policies, procedures and regulations on service operations.
  • Travel to and from DFW as needed

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: $140,000 - $190,000 per year + RSU package
