About The Position

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is seeking two Project Manager II candidates for the Livable Streets division. The Livable Streets mission is to create safe and inviting streets and sidewalks for all who walk and use a bicycle, focusing on projects that advance San Francisco’s ambitious policy goals to prioritize active transportation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and eliminate traffic deaths. This division is responsible for delivering bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic calming projects on time and within budget. The Program Manager II positions report to the Livable Streets Director and oversee multi-project capital programs. They are responsible for managing and establishing workplans for staff, developing and implementing staff performance plans, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and productive work environment. The positions will represent Livable Streets and SFMTA to community groups, internal staff, and elected/appointed officials, making regular presentations to the SFMTA Director of Transportation and SFMTA Board of Directors. They will also direct and inform the development of new policies and guidelines for bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic calming measures. Position 1 - Pedestrian Capital Program Manager: This role will oversee a Capital Program of more than $50 million dollars and lead a team of approximately 12-15 engineers and planners. The Pedestrian Capital Program is a critical part of San Francisco’s Street Safety Initiative, focusing on protections for vulnerable roadway users by addressing areas of conflict between modes of transportation. The program includes pedestrian safety improvements through both low-cost tools (quick-builds, daylighting, safety zones, turn safety treatments) and larger capital projects to rebuild street infrastructure (sidewalk widening, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, new and modified traffic signals). The position is responsible for the full lifecycle of projects from initial conceptual development through construction and project delivery, including close coordination with contractors and city construction crews. Position 2 - Speed Management Program Manager: This role will oversee a Capital Program of more than $50 million dollars and lead a team of approximately 10-12 engineers and planners. The Speed Management Program Manager is a critical part of San Francisco’s Street Safety Initiative, focusing on designing streets and enforcing safe driving behavior to achieve safe driving speeds. The program includes overseeing the City’s automated speed enforcement, corridor speed limit reduction, and traffic calming programs. The program manager will develop and deploy a data-driven, equity-focused approach to prioritize the installation of speed humps and related traffic calming devices on residential streets. The position is responsible for the full lifecycle of projects from initial conceptual development through construction and project delivery, including close coordination with contractors and city construction crews.
