Deep proficiency with enterprise scheduling and tracking software (e.g., MS Project, Jira, Confluence).* **Leadership**: Demonstrated experience leading matrixed, global teams across multiple time zones without direct line-reporting authority.* **Location & Mobility**: Must be based in or willing to relocate to the DMV region. Ability to travel frequently to local client sites and regional transit hubs for field alignment, compliance testing, and executive governance meetings.Preferred Qualifications* **Education**: Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.* **Industry Credentials**: PMP (Project Management Professional) certification and/or Scrum Master (CSM) certification is highly desirable.* **Domain Expertise:** Deep technical familiarity with Account-Based Ticketing (ABT), open payments (EMV contactless), mobile ticketing applications, virtual transit cards, and regional data clearinghouse operations.* **Procurement Knowledge**: Strong working knowledge of public sector procurement processes, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) guidelines, and regional transit agency operating environments in the DMV.Cubic Pay Range:$103,506.00 - $170,000.00\* + benefits. \*Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets.
