About Us_
// 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.

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. 

The Role_

You will support and guide a team of more than ten product managers and program leads, working across the organisation to strengthen the platform and prepare it for high-volume, high-stakes use. Your leadership will influence how we deliver reliable, scalable and commercially meaningful capabilities for the cities and agencies we serve.

As a core leader within the Product and Engineering organisation, you will shape the platform vision for Justride and contribute to the decisions that guide Masabi's next stage of growth. If you are energised by building for scale and helping shape the future of urban mobility, we would love to meet you.
