• Assist with back-office and roadside tolling system implementation efforts, including account management, billing, invoicing, payments, transponder/tag management, image review, violations, dispute handling, reconciliation, and customer correspondence workflows.
• Support system testing, user acceptance testing, business validation, demonstrations, release planning, go-live readiness, and post-implementation support activities.
• Analyze operational impacts, risks, process gaps, and customer-experience considerations associated with new system features, technology changes, or operational transitions.
• Prepare clear business documentation, meeting notes, process maps, requirements packages, test support materials, decision logs, issue summaries, training materials, and other project artifacts consistent with client and Kimley-Horn standards.
• Contribute to tolling advisory, system manager, procurement support, concepts of operations, business rule development, and operational readiness assignments as needed.

• Bachelor’s degree in business, information systems, transportation, engineering, public administration, finance, or a related field.
• Minimum of 7 years of business analysis, systems analysis, transportation operations, tolling, back-office, customer service, financial operations, or related consulting experience.

• Ability to facilitate discussions with business users, technical teams, operations staff, agency representatives, and project leadership.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex operational or technical topics into clear, actionable documentation.
• Experience supporting testing, validation, implementation readiness, change management, or operational transition activities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio or similar process-mapping tools.

• Experience with tolling, managed lanes, express lanes, open road tolling, all-electronic tolling, congestion pricing, or transportation technology projects.
