Arbeitsbeschreibung - Senior Writer

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.


As a Strategic Proposals Consultant you will work to improve mobility by forging new partnerships with public transit providers through thoughtful, exceptionally-written proposals. Working with senior members of the Strategy Team, you will develop a deep understanding of potential partners’ transportation challenges and goals, learn Via’s unique technical and operational strengths, and coordinate high-quality written proposals for effective shared mobility services.


This role is ideal for people with a humanities/social sciences background and a passion for writing. It is hybrid and Berlin-based. This position is also posted as "Senior Strategic Proposals Writer".


What You'll Do:



  • Hone your strategic thinking skills by coordinating with Via’s Partnerships, Expansion, and Finance teams to develop strategies for winning high-stakes, competitive procurements. 

  • Absorb complex product specifications and distill into clear, easily-digestible prose. 

  • Generate compelling original content by ascertaining a potential partner's needs and deploying your familiarity with Via’s technology and operational capabilities, transit norms, and the latest innovations from across the industry.

  • Lead competitive procurements from beginning to end -- through evaluation, creation of exceptional proposal content, review, and submission.

  • Conduct rigorous research on global mobility trends by analyzing news stories, new service announcements, scopes of work, and other forms of information and synthesizing findings into insightful commentary.

  • Skillfully manage communications with potential partners over the phone and email.

  • Support senior team members during interviews with cities and transit agencies.


Who You Are:



  • Minimum 4 years of experience to guide you

  • Fully fluent reading, writing, and speaking capabilities in German and English are a must (German native or bilingual level). 

  • An exceptional writer and communicator with an instinctive appreciation for tone and structure; your colleagues have told you that they enjoy reading your work (and maybe you’ve even won awards).

  • Socially-minded, action-oriented, and passionate about urbanism; you understand the importance of public transit and are motivated to improve worldwide access to mobility.

  • Meticulous and strategic; you can pay attention to every detail in a complex project while, at the same time, relate each of them to the big picture in a coherent way.

  • A record of academic achievement, preferably in the humanities, social sciences, or another field that required regular long-form writing (undergraduate degree required; advanced degree preferred).

  • It's a plus if you have created and published an original and thoughtful piece of content; bonus points if it is on the subject of transit, urbanism, mobility, business strategy, or a related topic.

  • It's a plus if you have led (or played a leading role in) the development and win of a business or public sector proposal/pitch/deal/etc.


What We Offer:



  • Trust and autonomy: we know which challenges we want to tackle but we will let you decide how to approach them – and be ready to support you along the way

  • Long-term career opportunities: whether you grow your expertise by tackling new issues or decide to explore a new career path, we’re in it for the long run

  • Competitive compensation including stock options

  • Urban Sports Club membership

  • A hybrid working model and a charming office at Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße, where you can enjoy weekly team lunches

  • 30 vacation days a year


Founded in 2012, Via pioneered the TransitTech category by using new technologies to develop public mobility systems — optimizing networks of buses, shuttles, wheelchair accessible vehicles, school buses, autonomous vehicles, and electric vehicles around the globe.
Building the world's most efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation network for all passengers — including those with limited mobility, those without smartphones, and unbanked populations — Via works with its partners to lower the costs of public transit while providing transportation options that rival the convenience of a personal car while reducing environmental impact.


At the intersection of transportation and technology, Via is a visionary market leader that combines software innovation with sophisticated service design and operational expertise to fundamentally improve the way the world moves.


We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. All backgrounds, identities, and voices are welcomed and celebrated at Via.

Via is an equal opportunity employer.
