Via is using technology to transform transportation around the world. From changing a single person’s daily commute to reducing humanity’s collective environmental footprint — we’ve got huge goals.

As a Strategic Account Manager, you’ll be the face and voice of Via for our partners both internally and externally. You’ll work collaboratively with Mayors, CEOs, Heads of Innovation and Sustainability Managers to develop, deploy and optimize advanced transportation networks in communities around Canada. You’ll be responsible for consulting on complex and impactful transportation services and converting that work into long term revenue growth. 

What You’ll Do:

  • Own the success of advanced transportation systems in our partner’s cities, acting as the primary point of contact for executive city and agency leadership
  • Act as a trusted advisor and consultant to our partners, helping to convert their ideas and community needs into revenue opportunities for Via
  • Contribute to the strategic decision-making, rigorous project planning, and entrepreneurial approach required to ensure success of Via solutions in a given city
  • Deliver insightful analysis from large quantities of data produced from our platform, helping executives such as Mayors and agency CEOs decipher mobility, demographic, and sustainability trends within their communities
  • Negotiate multi-year and highly complex partnership agreements between Via and public agencies

Who You Are:

  • You have a minimum of 7+ years of relevant client facing work experience, including (but not limited to) consulting, consultative customer success, or success at a high growth company.
  • Fluency in French and English is required for frequent client interaction.
  • You enjoy fast-paced environments, aren’t deterred by setbacks or pivots, and thrive in roles requiring a very high degree of responsibility.
  • You are eager to take on formal and informal leadership roles within Via and have a desire to grow quickly.  
  • Entrepreneurial relationship builder who remains calm and collected when faced with highly complex, politically sensitive situations.
  • Quantitatively-inclined and data savvy; you may not be a SQL expert, but you enjoy drawing quick, insightful conclusions from complex data sets, asking critical questions, and synthesizing raw numbers into simple, actionable recommendations.
  • A reliable, motivated self-starter with a passionate growth mentality. An excellent team player; you’re a meaningful individual contributor, and a mentor to others on your team. You view successes as a team effort, and enjoy working with others.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Final salary will be determined by the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and skills. Salary reflected does not include equity or variable pay, where applicable
  • Salary Range: CAD$130K-$140K
  • We are proud to offer a generous and comprehensive benefits package, including free medical plans and 401K matching.

We’re Via, and we build technology that changes the way the world moves. We pioneered the TransitTech category to ensure that the future of transportation is shared, dynamic public mobility — the kind that reduces carbon emissions across congested cities, minimizes reliance on private cars, and provides everyone with accessible, efficient, and affordable ways of getting around. 

We created the first end-to-end TransitTech solution for cities and transit agencies, offering world-class software, service design, and operational expertise to fundamentally improve the way the world moves.

Via was founded with the guiding principle that we go further when we go together. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. All backgrounds, identities, and voices are welcomed and celebrated at Via.

What We Do

We build technology that changes the way the world moves. Our guiding principle is simple: the future of transportation is dynamic, shared public mobility — the kind that reduces carbon emissions across cities, compliments existing transit infrastructure, and provides equitable access to efficient, affordable ways of getting around. For everyone.

Why Work With Us

You’ll work in an established startup that’s growing at staggering speed. We have plenty of room for the most bold among us to dream it up and make it happen. You’ll be empowered to experiment, and encouraged to challenge what we’ve already done while making stuff no one’s even thought of yet.
