Senior Account Executive, Western Europe

Via Transportation is a public mobility technology company that develops software and operational solutions for shared transportation networks. The company provides a comprehensive suite of products including microtransit, paratransit, student transit, corporate and campus shuttles, and health transportation services, serving cities, transit authorities, school districts, universities, healthcare providers, and corporations. Via's platform enables dynamic, on-demand routing and scheduling that maximizes vehicle utilization and reduces the number of single-occupancy trips on the road. By replacing inefficient fixed-route systems and private car trips with intelligent shared mobility, Via contributes to lower emissions and more sustainable urban transportation ecosystems. The company also offers Remix, a transit planning and scheduling platform, and has integrated Citymapper into its mobility-as-a-service offerings to help cities build more rider-centric networks. Via's mission centers on reimagining public transit to be more equitable, efficient, and accessible, ensuring that underserved communities gain reliable connections to jobs, education, and healthcare. What distinguishes Via is its combination of proprietary routing algorithms, real-time operations management tools, and in-house consulting expertise through Via Strategies, allowing it to serve both the technology and operational needs of transit agencies at scale.

Via is on a mission to create public transportation systems that provide far greater access to jobs, healthcare, and education. Our platform serves as the technology backbone for modern transit networks, transforming antiquated and siloed public transportation systems into smart, data-driven, and efficient digital networks. With hundreds of agency partners around the world, Via is recognized as the leading transportation technology and service provider globally.
