Director of Product
About The Position
Via is seeking a Director of Product to define and drive the next era of Remix, its transit planning and scheduling platform used by transit agencies worldwide. The role will shape Remix into a multimodal planning and scheduling system that gives agencies an authoritative place to make decisions across the service types they operate, including fixed route, paratransit, microtransit, and emerging modes. The Director of Product will own the end-to-end product experience, from strategic planning through live execution. The role focuses on helping agencies move from static schedules toward data-driven, dynamically optimized operations while accounting for labor union rules, contractual constraints, and operational needs. The work is intended to improve scheduling accuracy, dispatcher confidence, and rider reliability, ultimately affecting public transit riders at scale.

- Ability to balance strategic vision with operational detail.
- Strong ability to simplify complexity by translating varied customer needs and intricate business rules into clear, scalable product decisions.
- Empathy for planners, schedulers, and dispatchers, and ability to design for their real working context.
- Ability to become technically fluent in data models and entities used in scheduling and operations systems, including blocks, runs, trips, stops, vehicles, duties, and pairings.
- Ability to participate credibly in technical architecture decisions, evaluate tradeoffs, and advocate for platform choices that meet current needs and support long-term scalability.
