Position Overview:

The Operations Director oversees many of EWP's core transportation and visitor service programs, including the free Washington Park Shuttle, offsite parking operations, traffic management, and special event transportation planning. The role is also critical in shaping Park policy, improving access, fostering a positive guest experience, and supporting venue success through transportation and coordination. The position involves inter-agency coordination, outcomes based and data-informed planning, on-the-ground operations management, partnership development, and committee management and facilitation.

Working closely with the Executive Director, this position combines project management, partnership development, and strategic planning to help ensure that Washington Park and its institutions continue to be welcoming and accessible for visitors.

This is a hands-on leadership role. While much of the work focuses on planning, partnerships, and strategy, the successful candidate should also be comfortable stepping into parking and traffic management duties during major events and periods of high visitor demand.

Help coordinate and implement transportation and access strategies that support EWP's Transportation Access Plan
Evaluate transportation programs and visitor services using data and performance metrics

Help identify new opportunities to improve equitable access to Washington Park

Partnership and Community Engagement

Build and maintain strong relationships with park partners, community organizations, neighborhood associations, public agencies, and transportation providers
Facilitate EWP's Transportation Advisory Committee and other collaborative working groups
Represent EWP in meetings, presentations, and public engagement efforts
Support the development of partnerships that strengthen community connections and advance access and equity goals
Collaborate on grant-funded initiatives and special projects

Operations and Program Management

Oversee EWP's transportation and visitor service programs, including shuttle operations, offsite parking, ZooLights transportation planning, and related initiatives
Lead real-time operational decision making during peak periods and special events
Manage contractors and service providers to ensure reliable and cost-effective operations
Help develop and refine service delivery plans and program budgets
Be willing to work some evenings, holidays, weekends as operational needs require

Leadership and Team Development

Manage and support the Operations team, ensuring clear priorities and accountability
Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive organizational culture
Serve as a member of EWP's leadership team
Work closely with the Executive Director and Marketing & Communications Director to ensure strong cross-department collaboration
Support organizational growth through thoughtful leadership and problem solving

Required Qualifications:

Significant experience in program management, nonprofit leadership, public administration, parks, transportation, community development, or a related field
Experience leading teams and managing complex projects
Strong relationship-building and partnership development skills
Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to changing circumstances
Experience using data and analysis to support decision making
Commitment to equity, accessibility, and inclusive public spaces

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in transportation planning, transportation demand management (TDM), transit operations, parking management, or related fields
Experience working across multiple agencies or community partners
Familiarity with equitable transportation access and climate-focused mobility initiatives
Experience with grants, public funding programs, or collaborative planning efforts
Experience working in parks, visitor services, tourism, or public-facing organizations
