Careers | Valley Metro

Summary


Position open until filled.  The first review of applications will begin on November 12, 2024.

The Manager, Community Engagement (Current Stakeholders) will lead outreach efforts, focused on creating engagement and garnering feedback from groups who use or have the potential to use and/or support our services—from riders to employers to organizations to transit-adjacent communities. Meanwhile, the Manager, Community Engagement (Future Projects) will focus on creating engagement and garnering feedback from stakeholders along our future projects—from projects in planning, design and/or construction projects, ensuring public input shapes our future endeavors. Both roles involve supervising and mentoring teams, building plans and programs, managing budgets and contracts, collaborating with internal teams for message cohesion and planning, and representing the organization at external events and presentations. If you're passionate about strategic outreach and public transit, these roles offer a chance to make a meaningful impact on our local community.
