About the Role

PrePass is seeking a Sr. Product Manager, Public Sector to lead an enterprise-wide strategy connecting government needs, transportation policy, funding, research, pilots and procurement opportunities with PrePass capabilities.

This role connects Public Sector and Product, owns the consolidated public-sector roadmap and prioritization process, represents public-sector customers across Product, and positions PrePass to engage before programs and requirements are fully defined.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Public‑Sector Product Strategy

Integrate opportunities across Safety, Innovation, Site Systems, 360SmartView, Compliance and Bypass into a unified public‑sector roadmap.

Translate agency needs, policy changes and funding priorities into product implications, opportunity hypotheses and recommendations.

Evaluate opportunities based on customer value, strategic fit, roadmap alignment, funding potential, product readiness and organizational capacity.

Develop leadership decision materials that clarify value, tradeoffs, dependencies and the recommended path, then drive agreed product outcomes.

Deliver Public‑Sector Product Outcomes

Translate contract commitments, RFP responses, grant deliverables and regulatory mandates into clear requirements for value‑stream Product Managers.

Partner with Product, Engineering and Product Operations to prioritize commitments and deliver them on schedule.

Provide product expertise for RFP responses, state onboarding and renewals.

Define and report outcomes, including agency adoption, data quality, safety impact and contribution to renewals and new states.

Co‑Lead Grants, Pilots and Upstream Development

Monitor and evaluate federal and state grants, research opportunities, demonstrations and pilot funding cycles.

Participate in coalitions with agencies, state DOTs, enforcement organizations, University Transportation Centers, research institutions, carriers and technology partners.

Identify collaborations and PoC requirements early so opportunities address public‑sector needs and align with PrePass investments and capabilities.

Policy, Regulatory and Market Intelligence

Partner internally to assess legislation, rulemakings, standards and government initiatives affecting commercial vehicle safety and compliance, and communicate roadmap implications early.

Coordinate product input into RFIs, RFPs, public comments, research initiatives, standards discussions and related government opportunities.

Represent PrePass as a Public‑Sector Thought Leader

Represent PrePass in relevant forums, including FMCSA, FHWA, CVSA, state DOTs, University Transportation Centers, IRP and IFTA committees, ITS America initiatives and autonomous vehicle task forces.

Build trusted relationships with leaders who influence transportation policy, funding, research, procurement and implementation.

What Success Looks Like

PrePass maintains a clear, current and actionable public‑sector strategy and consolidated roadmap.

Public‑sector opportunities are identified and shaped before grant, pilot and procurement requirements are finalized.

Product teams receive timely insight that improves planning and aligns funded pursuits with PrePass capabilities and investments, including voice of the customer.

Public‑sector stakeholders increasingly engage PrePass as a trusted strategic, technical and commercialization partner.

Requirements

Qualifications

5+ years of progressively responsible experience in transportation product management, public‑sector program development, transportation technology, innovation or a related discipline.

Expertise in federal and state transportation funding, including identifying opportunities, shaping concepts, coordinating partners, developing scopes and leading proposals.

Experience coordinating cross‑functional teams to translate public‑sector needs into actionable product strategies and measurable outcomes.

Established relationships across the public‑sector transportation ecosystem, such as federal agencies, state DOTs, enforcement organizations, CVSA, University Transportation Centers, task forces, advisory councils or industry associations.

Ability to travel regularly up to 30% for agency meetings, conferences, task forces, partner development and industry engagements.

Bachelor's degree in Business, Public Policy, Transportation, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional experience, is a plus.
