Sr. Product Manager
Who we are
HopSkipDrive’s mission is to create opportunity for all through mobility.
Our safe, innovative youth transportation solution is used by schools, government agencies and busy
families to get kids where they need to go.
We’re a company with heart
Our partnerships with agencies, nonprofits and schools ensure educational access for some of our most
vulnerable populations, including youth in foster care, youth experiencing homelessness, and youth with
special needs.
We understand that transportation can mean the difference between struggle and success, and our
solution helps kids reach their full potential by arranging safe, dependable transportation.
We’re an awesome place to work
Our company culture has been well-recognized — HopSkipDrive has been named to Best Places to Work
lists from Built in LA, Comparably, Inc. and the Los Angeles Business Journal. Comparably also named
us to the Best Company for Professional Development, Best CEO and Best CEOs for Women lists.
We’re growing rapidly
Founded by three moms as a technology solution to their own transportation challenges, we’ve grown
from serving the L.A. market to serving eight states and 15 markets across the country. We continue to
expand at a rapid pace, making the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Fast-Growing Technology lists.
Backed by top-tier venture capital firms, HopSkipDrive has raised $45M in funding to date and shares
investors with well-known brands like Airbnb, Pinterest and Ring.
