The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is looking for a finance-savvy enterprise leader to serve as its next Chief Financial Officer! As the CFO, you will make sure that #TransitIsTheAnswer to solving many policy dilemmas in Utah, such as traffic congestion, air quality, economic development, and housing.
