At Masabi, we’re driving the fare payment revolution, powering the journeys of millions all over the world. We build fare collection platforms that allow riders to seamlessly buy and present tickets for public transport either on their mobile phones, from a ticket machine, or even by tapping their bank card to travel. Choosing a role here means joining a network of innovators from all walks of life; Masabi is seeking an experienced Project Delivery Director to lead the end-to-end implementation and delivery of a major, multi-year transit technology modernization program in North America.

This is a hands‑on delivery leadership role bringing together a complex, multi-vendor technology transformation. The program involves account‑based ticketing, contactless payments, integration with existing and new technology infrastructure, customer‑facing digital services, phased production deployment, legacy system migration and operational transition. From there, you’ll turn program objectives and contract commitments into a clear delivery plan, bring internal and external teams together, stay ahead of critical dependencies, and work through challenges with your partners so every phase lands well.

We’re looking for a delivery leader who combines strong program management discipline with practical experience of complex technical implementations end to end. You’ll be comfortable moving between strategy and detail, working closely with technical teams, subcontractors and customer stakeholders to keep delivery moving. Reporting to our VP Strategic Programs, you’ll lead the program independently, be part of its executive steering group and represent Masabi in senior conversations.

This is an individual contributor role, with around 70% hands‑on delivery leadership and 30% program leadership. This role is available in a remote model for candidates based in Eastern Canada. End-to-end program delivery Lead implementation from mobilization through design, integration, testing, rollout, migration and handover.

Own the integrated master schedule across internal teams, subcontractors, the customer and third parties, keeping the critical path,



priorities and interdependencies on track. Spot risks early and agree recovery plans with the team when milestones are at risk. Technical implementation and systems integration Coordinate software, hardware and third‑party integrations, including APIs, payment services, field equipment and customer‑facing platforms.

Work closely with engineering, product, architecture, QA and implementation teams so design, integration and testing happen in the right order. Help transparent cross‑vendor dependencies and technical blockers before they slow testing down. Multi‑vendor and stakeholder management Bring Masabi, subcontractors, technology and payment partners and the customer together around one delivery plan.

Set clear ownership, commitments and escalation paths, and follow up so partners deliver what they’ve agreed, on time and to the right quality. Testing, deployment and operational transition Oversee system and user acceptance testing, defect resolution and readiness reviews. Coordinate phased deployments, making sure technical, operational, customer‑service and third‑party teams are ready.

Lead planning for legacy coexistence, account migration, cutover, reconciliation and stabilization. Program controls and commercial delivery Keep scope, schedule, resources, budget, risks, issues and changes under control. Track subcontractor performance and support commercial commitments and change requests.

Share accurate forecasts and clear, concise reporting that helps leaders make timely decisions. Deep experience delivering complex technology programs, with many years in senior program or delivery leadership. Personal, end‑to‑end ownership of at least one large, multi‑year systems implementation,



as the accountable program lead (not a workstream or project inside someone else’s program), from mobilization through go‑live and handover.

A track record of bringing vendors, integrators, suppliers and customer teams together around one shared plan, and keeping partners true to what they’ve agreed. Practical understanding of software implementation, SaaS platforms, enterprise systems integration, APIs, technical testing and production deployment. Great commercial sense, including program budgets, contractual deliverables, supplier performance and change control.

Credibility at executive level, building trust with senior customers and partners through clear communication and thoughtful negotiation. A habit of turning lessons from past programs into better ways of working for others, whether through playbooks, coaching or setting the standard for how programs are run.

Experience in transit, fare collection or payments. Contactless payments, payment gateways, acquiring, certification and financial reconciliation. Integration of software platforms with physical devices, validators, fare gates, ticket vending machines or other field equipment.
