Our company
Convinced that the ecological transition must include a means of public transport capable of competing with the car on travel time, Urbanloop develops, produces and supervises a 100% autonomous, electric transport solution. With no waiting or intermediate stops, Urbanloop revolutionizes individual mobility by offering a real alternative to the private car via a network of guided capsules on exclusive right-of-way.
Our offer is aimed at medium-sized towns, suburban areas, business parks, industrial, commercial and tourist zones, etc. Several local authorities have already entrusted us with the deployment of these solutions, notably Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and Nancy for the 2026 Games.
Joining us means joining a young, committed and close-knit team of thirty or so people who are working for tomorrow's transportation. It means joining a start-up recognized as one of the most promising in the field of mobility, winner of the FrenchTech 2030 program, and getting involved in shaping the life of the company.
The position and missions
As part of our growth (two projects already launched, a new site in Lyon), Urbanloop is recruiting a project manager for its new Lyon site, in charge of upstream studies. Your role will be to steer, direct and produce the preliminary studies that contribute to selling the solution to local authorities and companies:

- Support and guidance for sales teams in identifying and defining new projects
- Manage studies from the prospecting phase onwards, interacting with customers (companies, local authorities, etc.).
- Interface with various departments within Urbanloop: Business development, Management, technical experts / R&D

- Overall rendering guarantee and follow-up
- Technical watch
- Urbanloop's ambassador in the technical mobility ecosystem (associations, internship supervision, links with research, schools, etc.).
The studies you steer include a technical part linked to the integration - adaptation - of the transport system in the territorial ecosystem. They may also include questions of financing, flow estimates, prefiguration of possible operating conditions, etc.
Salary €40k to €50k negotiable depending on profile.
