Transit agencies are the unsung heroes of cities. And we’re honoured to be their trusted sidekick. With over 180 transit agency partners and a circus tent full of agency products (like automatic detour detection, enhanced transit ETAs, and rider surveys), we help transit agencies improve the experience for millions of riders who use our app.
As part of our service delivery team, you’ll help them get the most out of our partnership — responding to agency comments and concerns and suggestions, and championing their voice within Transit. In a single week, you’ll troubleshoot GTFS data bugs, put out digital fires (whenever a system is snagged by disruptions), and be the liaison between agencies and Transit for all sorts of issues. From the most basic feature to tap-reducing tips for inquisitive superusers. You’ll be on the phones, on the emails, and sometimes on the planes (for occasional conferences) to build and maintain close relationships with agency partners and across different Transit teams.
You’re in charge once the train leaves the station.
Once a partnership launches, you’ll own the relationship with the respective agencies and mobility partners.
Make sure transit agency partners are getting all the bangs for their bucks
by being their first line of defense for issues. You’ll also be their trusted confidant for feature requests, questions, and concerns, and partnership improvements.
Make partners love us.
You’ll use regular calls and emails as a way to build rapport and trust, and develop a sixth sense for anticipating agency issues — ones that Transit can solve with software before anyone else.
You’ll develop a mastery of our features and enterprise tools (including our unreleased ones). You’ll know each partner agency’s core strengths and areas for improvement, and anticipate how Transit can leverage those strengths and speed along those improvements.
Be the eyes and ears for our partnerships team
by sharing insights on agency operations, anticipating needs, and recommending solutions that set us up for successful long-term agency partnerships.
Educate agency staff and make it easy for them to help themselves.
You’ll handhold agencies when it’s necessary to get them up to speed, share best practices, and answer their frequently-asked questions.
Develop strong ties across Transit’s organization,
particularly with our user support team, comms commandos, transit data integrators, and web / mobile devs, so we can resolve technical and non-technical challenges with speed and aplomb.
Above all else : be the voice of agency partners within the company!
The service delivery team is responsible for amplifying the ‘Voice of the Customer’ within Transit. Your role will make you the voice of some VIP customers (e.g. an agency’s Director of Marketing or Head of Customer Experience). You’ll champion their needs in internal discussions and be Transit’s eyes and ears for strategic developments within partner organizations.

Public transit is used by overwhelmingly more women and people of colour than other modes of transportation. We try to make sure the diversity of our users is reflected in the team that serves them. Because when we include people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ages, and identities — we end up building a better app for everyone who uses Transit.
We encourage candidates of all ages, genders, origins, and orientations to apply. If you’d like to specify which pronouns you use, feel free to include that in your application email.
