Global public transit operator managing metros, buses, trains, and shared mobility
Keolis operates one of the world's largest public transportation networks across multiple continents, managing metros, buses, trains, and emerging shared mobility services. The hiring acceleration (41 roles in last 30 days) is heavily skewed toward operations and senior leadership, with concurrent projects in payroll migration, network modernization, and RGPD compliance — signaling a company simultaneously scaling operations while modernizing its IT and HR infrastructure. Tech stack (SAP SuccessFactors, Dynamics 365, AWS, Kubernetes, Talend) reflects a mid-transformation state: enterprise resource planning at scale, cloud-native infrastructure emerging, but still Windows-heavy on core operations.
Notable leadership hires: Subsidiary Director, Project Director, Operations Director
