Original job description

This Opportunity WSP is seeking an experienced Program Manager to support a major transit agency in New York City on large-scale fare payment, transit technology, and customer-facing mobility programs. This position will serve as the primary day-to-day project management lead, coordinating activities among clients, technology vendors, contractors, systems integrators, and stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery.

This position requires a proven leader with extensive experience managing large, multi-disciplinary transportation technology programs, fare payment systems, account-based ticketing, open payments, customer technology platforms, and systems integration efforts. Candidates should possess strong client relationship skills and experience working directly with executive leadership at large public transportation agencies. Desired qualifications align closely with leadership experience supporting major transit fare modernization and payment system programs, including OMNY and similar initiatives. Required Work Location This position is required to be onsite in New York, NY five (5) days per week. Candidates must reside in or be willing to relocate to the New York City metropolitan area. Remote or hybrid arrangements are not anticipated for this role. Position is contingent upon contract award. Your Impact

Monitor project performance and proactively identify schedule, budget, operational, and technical risks requiring management attention.
Prepare executive-level presentations, briefing materials, program updates, and Board-level reports.
Support project testing, system acceptance, operational readiness, implementation, transition planning, and go-live activities.
Lead stakeholder engagement, communications, and change management efforts.
Oversee vendor performance and coordinate cross-functional teams across technology, operations, finance, customer experience, and engineering disciplines.
Support procurement activities, contract administration, business case development, and strategic planning initiatives.
Mentor project managers and technical staff supporting major transit technology programs.
Support business development, capture planning, proposal development, and client relationship management activities.
