Full-Time Head of Product
Job Description
About us:
Dollaride is building the future of commuter transit.
We believe that public transit should be flexible and decentralized, and we strive to help underserved communities realize that future today. Dollaride empowers NYC commuter van drivers to grow their ridership and serve more passengers by digitizing their traditionally offline operations. We’re a technology partner to a growing network of 500+ TLC licensed drivers and 3000+ commuter transport businesses. The commuter van network transports over 120,000 New Yorkers every day. Our research supports that ridership is poised to grow by 5x when dollar vans expand to other transit deserts in NYC.
Beyond NYC, 24M million people live in transit deserts across 200 US metro cities. So Dollaride is building a unique platform to capture this $30B market opportunity.
