With over 200 transit agency partners from Vancouver, BC to Taranaki, NZ… we're looking for a product owner to be the voice of the agency™ within Transit. You'll attend project kickoffs, listen to agency feedback, develop an intuition for what agencies want, and be their advocate at Transit HQ. For over a decade our little green app has been the right hand of riders and agencies alike, with its radically simple interface, impeccable real-time data, and a devotion to getting people from a-to-b without their own car (with a little help from our transit agency friends, bien sûr.) We put a lot of effort into building rapport with our colleagues at transit agencies, whether it's alerting them to broken GTFS feeds, helping them benchmark their other agencies, or building them tools like which keep riders up-to-date about service changes and help agencies monitor shifts in rider behaviour.
We're looking for one of those colleagues — with a strong agency and/or B2G track record — to join us, represent Transit at meetings with agency partners, make sure those partners are getting the most out of new Transit features, and help us put agency needs at the centre (or close to it!) figure out what their riders need, how Transit might fulfill those needs, and advocate for those products to get built and shipped every road/train track/bike lane may lead to Rome, but building them (and the features to navigate them) takes time. You'll help articulate clear expectations to transit agencies and within Transit, set priorities, and take responsibility for making sure that feature launches are consistently delighting our partners Be our human pizza delivery tracker:
from agency request to napkin sketch to roadmap item to in-app product, you'll nudge ideas along through development, QA, launch, and follow up with agencies, making sure nothing slips through the cracks onto the tracks use the app, read the reviews, figure out how it could be better adapted to local contexts, and dig into the analytics to make your case we spend a lot of time building new products for agencies and their riders — how are they being used? You'll dig into our app and website metrics to find out exactly that fromdevelopers, to product designers, to data analysts, to all the folks across the business team, you'll make fast friends, identify stakeholders, overcome technical hurdles, and be the plucky coxswain who can rally a feature into harbour with speed and aplomb Abiding love for all things public transit: You're a regular sight on your city's public transit vehicles, and know firsthand what issues your fellow riders face Or okay, maybe you don't every day (maybe you've sworn allegiance to a different trip planning app?) but you have strong opinions on how apps can help folks traverse their cities, and you can help us figure out how we can adapt Transit to the needs of riders who have yet to be convinced of our app’s utility You’ve got 5-8 years of experience in product/project management: AKA you thrive in ambiguity,
and won't bat an eye if goalposts occasionally shift mid-shift! we want to hear about how you successfully manage requirements and get software shipped You’re fluent in English: 95% of our transit agency partners are outside of Québec, although if you are fluently bilingual that is a huge, huge plus We're a stone's throw from two of the world's best bagel shops, a métro, BIXI stands, so many parks — what's not to love?
If you're not currently based in Montréal but are the perfect person for this gig, we're also open to remote.
Compensation and advantages$100,000 - $140,000 CAD per year, based on experience Comprehensive medical and dental coverage Four-day work week at full-time salary (yes, you read that right) Going car-free is free at Transit. A training and development budget Generous maternal/paternal/parental leave policy. Spend your days surrounded by first-rate teammates and the best view of Montreal and/or [insert exotic Zoom background] When you're in the office: you'll be in urbanist heaven, surrounded by Mile End's urban gardens, bike paths, BIXI docks, bus stops, a metro station, and limitless restaurants… cafés… bars… concert halls… bagel boutiques… Communal lunch-and-learn with free food in the office each week 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.
