Senior Product Manager, Ops & Customer Experience

About HopSkipDrive At HopSkipDrive, our mission is to create opportunity for all through mobility. We're the leader in safe, fast, and simple supplemental student transportation. Through our marketplace, we connect kids to highly-vetted caregivers on wheels. Through our software, we solve the biggest transportation challenges facing schools and school districts across the country. Founded by three moms as a solution to their own transportation challenges, we've now facilitated more than five million rides across over over 20states. We continue to grow rapidly — earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 list numerous times and the Deloitte 500 Fast-Growing Technology list. HopSkipDrive is a Series D company and has raised $100M to date. How we work We use AI every day, and not as a productivity add-on. It's woven into how we work at every level. We're rethinking how work gets done, who does what, and what a small team can accomplish. If you've already built AI into how you work, you'll hit the ground running. If you haven't, you'll need to be ready to learn fast and work differently than you have before. Who We Are Our Support and Operational Productivity team sits at the intersection of customer experience, operational excellence, and business growth. We're a high-impact, collaborative group of product managers, engineers, designers, and operations specialists who build the systems and experiences that keep HopSkipDrive running — for our customers and for the teams that serve them.

Our support world is uniquely complex. We serve schools and parents coordinating their children’s transportation, school administrators managing district-wide logistics, drivers navigating complex pickup instructions and multi-stop coordination, and the operations team orchestrating it all. Every interaction involves multiple stakeholders, tight safety requirements, and real-time coordination. Our work spans the full operational landscape of HopSkipDrive — from the customer-facing experiences that keep riders, CareDrivers, caregivers, and school partners informed and supported, to the internal platforms that power how our teams operate across support, sales, revenue operations, and safety. We think deeply about the people on both sides of every interaction: the customer navigating a problem, and the team member solving it. That dual lens — user experience and operational excellence, together — is what makes this work uniquely challenging and uniquely impactful. We move fast, think big, and measure success by how much more effective we make our teams and how much better we serve our customers.
