- Oversee program finances, including invoicing, budget tracking, and profitability metrics.
- Maintain and improve SLAs and KPIs, identifying and resolving operational inefficiencies before they impact service.
- Own project oversight by monitoring and tracking new initiatives, billing cycles, service metrics, and contract compliance.
- Report regularly on program performance, presenting data-driven updates and actionable recommendations to senior leadership.
What You’ll Bring
- 8+ years experience in transportation, logistics, or shuttle operations, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership role.
- Proven ability to lead complex, round the clock programs with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
