This position is also responsible for organizing its professional staff including recruiting, hiring, developing, evaluating, and delegating responsibilities as appropriate.

The successful candidate will embody the following leadership and management attributes and skills: integrity, innovation, critical thinking, effective communication, approachability, fiscal conservatism, adaptability, decisiveness, and professional decision making. The ability to facilitate engagement, encouragement, and empowerment of the workforce and universal understanding of how each employee impacts the mission is critical.

This position requires successful completion of a bachelor’s degree in business, public administration, transportation, political science, or a related field, as well as a minimum of 10 years of progressively responsible experience, with the latest position to show scope and responsibilities similar to that of the CDTA CEO position. A master’s degree in similar fields is desired, and professional certifications and in-progress graduate work are welcome. Military or professional transit or public administration experience in lieu of the minimum education requirement will also be considered.
