Join one of the nation’s leading transit agencies during an exciting period of growth and innovation! King County Metro has an exciting leadership opportunity for a
Market Innovation Managing Director.
This leadership role is integral to Metro’s transformation into a cutting-edge mobility agency, with high-capacity transit at the center and shared mobility services complementing the regional system.
We are seeking a dynamic leader with a proven track record of inspiring and optimizing team performance. The ideal candidate will possess an innovative mindset, a solid understanding of the transit industry, and experience with research practices. They should be dedicated to customer satisfaction and equity, with a strong ability to build and nurture partnerships with diverse internal and external stakeholders. This role is critical to Metro’s mission to evolve into a forward-thinking mobility agency that delivers solutions to meet customer needs that align with Metro’s values- equity, safety and sustainability.

The section is comprised of approximately 40 team members and includes collaborative self-starters that work in partnership with others in Metro, local cities, transportation providers and the business community. Market Innovation is comprised of three main workgroups:
Market and Business Development
includes the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and Business Programs teams. Both teams focus on increasing access to existing mobility options by providing the information, tools and incentives people need to choose a non-drive-alone transportation mode.
Fare Policy
leads development of fare and pricing policy, and is managing the Enterprise Fares Initiative, which includes fund management policy updates, simplification of reduced fares, increasing use of ORCA, and development of the cashless transition plan.
Research and Innovation
includes the Research, Innovative Mobility, and Connecting to Transit teams. The Research team supports the Department with up-to-date information on customer perceptions, attitudes, and needs, and provides evaluation of programs and projects to inform decisions. Innovative Mobility tests new services for efficacy in reaching new markets and increasing ridership on alternate modes. Connecting to Transit is leading development of mobility hubs, expanding bike and walk access and managing our park-and-ride network to maximize the use of these assets.
