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.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressively responsible experience in transportation product management, public‑sector program development, transportation technology, innovation or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated success translating public‑sector transportation needs into technology, product, pilot or program strategies.
• 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.

How We Will Take Care of You
