Project Delivery Director - Fare Modernization

At Masabi, we’re driving the fare payment revolution, powering the journeys of millions all over the world. We build fare collection platforms that allow riders to seamlessly buy and present tickets for public transport either on their mobile phones, from a ticket machine, or even by tapping their bank card to travel.

Our Justride platform is used in over 250 locations globally, including some of the largest cities in the world. With our industry-first mobile ticketing SDK, we’ve partnered with large players in the transport space, including Uber, Moovit and Transit.

Your own journey is important to us too. Choosing a role here means joining a network of innovators from all walks of life; a group of passionate individuals who consistently deliver. Here, you’ll find the tools you need to build the career you want. Whether you’re taking the direct route or trying a new path, we’ll support you no matter what.

Masabi is seeking an experienced Project Delivery Director to lead the end-to-end implementation and delivery of a major, multi-year transit technology modernization program in North America. This is a hands-on delivery leadership role bringing together a complex, multi-vendor technology transformation. The program involves account-based ticketing, contactless payments, integration with existing and new technology infrastructure, customer-facing digital services, phased production deployment, legacy system migration and operational transition.

You’ll be there from the start, shaping the baseline plan, setting up governance and bringing partners on board. From there, you’ll turn program objectives and contract commitments into a clear delivery plan, bring internal and external teams together, stay ahead of critical dependencies, and work through challenges with your partners so every phase lands well.

We’re looking for a delivery leader who combines strong program management discipline with practical experience of complex technical implementations end to end. This isn’t a governance-only role. You’ll be comfortable moving between strategy and detail, working closely with technical teams, subcontractors and customer stakeholders to keep delivery moving.

Reporting to our VP Strategic Programs, you’ll lead the program independently, be part of its executive steering group and represent Masabi in senior conversations. This is an individual contributor role, with around 70% hands-on delivery leadership and 30% program leadership.

This role offers a chance to shape how Masabi runs large programs in North America, on a flagship program that will set the standard for how we deliver moving forward.

This role is available in a remote model for candidates based in the Eastern United States.

• Lead implementation from mobilization through design, integration, testing, rollout, migration and handover.
• Own the integrated master schedule across internal teams, subcontractors, the customer and third parties, keeping the critical path, priorities and interdependencies on track.
• Turn contractual milestones into clear commitments, owners and acceptance criteria.
• Spot risks early and agree recovery plans with the team when milestones are at risk.

• Coordinate software, hardware and third-party integrations, including APIs, payment services, field equipment and customer-facing platforms.
• Work closely with engineering, product, architecture, QA and implementation teams so design, integration and testing happen in the right order.
• Help clear cross-vendor dependencies and technical blockers before they slow testing down.

• Bring Masabi, subcontractors, technology and payment partners and the customer together around one delivery plan.
• Set clear ownership, commitments and escalation…
