Senior Vice President Head of Product

Who we are… Verra Mobility is a global leader in smart mobility. We develop technology-enabled solutions that help the world move safely and easily. We are fostering the development of safe cities, working with police departments and municipalities to install over 4,000 red-light, speed, and school bus stop arm safety cameras across North America. We are also creating smart roadways, serving the world’s largest commercial fleets and rental car companies to manage tolling transactions and violations for over 8.5 million vehicles.

And we are a leading provider of connected systems, processing nearly 165 million transactions each year across 50 individual tolling authorities.

Culture Verra Mobility Corporation is a rapidly-growing, entrepreneurial company that operates with a people-first philosophy and approach. The company lives by its core values—Do What’s Right, Lead with Grace, Win Together, and Own It—in everything it does for its customers and team members. The company seeks to grow aggressively, both organically and through acquisition, to continue to be the undisputed market leader with these five core competencies: bias for action, customer focus, teamwork, drive for results, and commitment to excellence.

Verra Mobility is at a pivotal inflection point. We are currently undertaking a strategic transformation to shift our organization from a project-based, IT-centric execution model to a modern Product Operating Model . We are seeking a visionary SVP, Head of Product to lead this evolution, reporting directly to the CEO.

You will oversee a product organization currently being reset to operate in “Durable Trios” (Product, Engineering, and Design) aligned to customer value streams rather than temporary projects. Your mandate is to institutionalize this model, ensuring our teams are empowered to solve hard problems for our customers – ranging from the world’s largest rental car agencies to major municipalities and Departments of Transportation.

This role requires a leader who can balance dual horizons: “Protecting the Core” by modernizing our legacy cash-cow platforms (such as the transition to the UNIFI and Mosaic platforms), while simultaneously fueling “New Growth Engines” in Connected Vehicle services, European expansion, and advanced transit solutions (MABLE). You will move the organization from output-focused feature delivery to outcome-focused business results.

• Define the North Star:
  Craft and evangelize a cohesive product vision that unifies our diverse portfolio – Commercial Services (RAC/FMC), Government Solutions (Safety/Enforcement), and T2 Systems (Parking) – into a seamless “One Verra” ecosystem.
• Shift to Outcome-Based Roadmaps:
  Transition the organization away from sales-led feature lists to problem-based roadmaps. You will ensure teams are measured by business outcomes (e.g., reducing churn, increasing adoption, driving margin expansion) rather than just shipping code on dates.
• Portfolio Management: rigorous management of the investment portfolio, making hard decisions to “sunset” legacy products (e.g., legacy e-commerce portals) to fund high-growth “stars” and “moonshots” like Connected Vehicle services and immersive curbside management.

• Institutionalize the Product Operating Model:
  Build upon the foundation of Project Catalyst. Ensure the “Product Trio” structure (PM, Engineering Lead, Design Lead) becomes the standard unit of delivery, fostering true collaboration rather than siloed hand-offs.
• Talent Development: obsess over the quality of the product team. You will recruit, coach, and retain “bar-raising” talent, specifically addressing the need to elevate Product Design to a strategic peer of Engineering and Product Management.
• Cultural Change Agent:
  Navigate the “corporate immune system” to shift the culture from “mercenary” (order-taking) to “missionary” (problem-solving). You will bridge the gap between our historic operational excellence and our future innovation needs.

• Platform Modernization:
  Partner with the CTO to oversee the strategic…
