Field Operations Manager (German-speaking)

Via is using technology to transform transportation around the world. From changing a single person’s daily commute to reducing humanity’s collective environmental footprint — we’ve got huge goals.

Together with the Dingolfing‑Landau district, we have developed the “LanDi” into an established on‑demand mobility service in the region. Since May 2025, we have also been operating the Mühldorf call bus, providing the district with a future‑oriented transport concept in which trips are managed and bundled based on demand. Be part of the mobility transition in rural areas and strengthen our team!
