Shared Micromobility (SMM) services are small, light shared vehicles that are enabled by digital technology. Currently the City of Portland contracts with two companies, Lime and Lyft, to provide shared e-scooters and electric bikes. In 2023 over 1.1 million trips were completed on shared e-scooters and over 647,000 were completed on Portland’s shared e-bike system, BIKETOWN. These transportation options advance PBOT’s goal to reduce carbon emissions, reduce car dependency, and make the transportation system safer and more efficient.
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is seeking a Shared Micromobility Program Manager to lead the implementation and growth of Portland’s nationally recognized shared micromobility program. Growth is defined as increasing the overall utilization of these transportation modes in balance with who can access these services.
Located in PBOT’s Mobility and Safety Programs division, this position manages three staff members who focus on implementation, equity partnerships, and outreach and education. This position drives daily activities associated with operating shared micromobility through both an accountability lens, as well as a collaborative public-private partnership lens. The Program Manager serves as the Project Officer for contracts with operator companies and is responsible for managing relationships with key system sponsors and grantors. The Program Manager will also collaborate with other PBOT staff to collectively shape the future of shared micromobility programs in Portland.
About the division: The Mobility and Safety Programs (MSP) division delivers people-centered programs to make streets safer, reduce car dependency, and create equitable access in community. MSP works in partnership with the Transportation Planning and Project Delivery Group to achieve these goals. Other areas of work that MSP manages are Vision Zero, Safe Routes to School, multimodal education and encouragement, and transportation demand management programs.
What you’ll get to do:
- Create systems, tools, and work plans for a team of four to accomplish short-term and long-term goals related to growing a nationally recognized shared micromobility program in Portland.
- Foster environments where City staff and private-sector partners can perform their duties in a productive and collaborative way.
- Create relationships with private and public stakeholders, including the BIKETOWN title sponsor.
- Serve as bureau lead on engagement with shared micromobility operators, including private-sector staff from a variety of functions, and with other stakeholders, such as other cities, state agencies, and community-based organizations.
- Manage performance on contracts and agreements associated with funding and operation of shared micromobility.
- Direct procurement and contractual processes associated with operation of shared micromobility.
- Develop the vision and implementation strategy for the future of shared micromobility in Portland using an inter-bureau engagement approach.
- Communicate and lift up the wide variety of qualitative and quantitative data and stories associated with SMM to internal, local, and national audiences.
- Determine response and escalate and resolve issues related to daily operations of SMM services.
- Monitor national trends in shared micromobility to ensure staff has awareness of changes in the shifting landscape and that Portland remains a leader in shared micromobility.
Who you are:
- An Equity-focused Leader: Experience leading and mentoring diverse staff and creating and maintaining an inclusive, respectful, and multicultural workplace
- Data-driven and Inclusive Decision-Maker: Helps others less familiar be informed and engaged in the rapidly changing nature of shared micromobility
- Excellent Communicator: A strong communicator to technical and non-technical individuals
- Emotionally Intelligent: Motivated, passionate, team-oriented, and empathetic in daily interactions with staff, constituents, and partners
- Cross-Sector Translator: Ability to speak to and understand a wide range of perspectives from business-oriented private sector to socially driven grassroots perspective.
