Motive is seeking a Staff Product Manager for its Telematics Platform, a critical infrastructure layer that collects, ingests, processes, and serves all vehicle and device data across the company's product ecosystem. This is a deeply technical, strategic role at the center of Motive's platform architecture.
You will own the long-term vision, strategy, and roadmap for the telematics data platform, balancing enterprise-grade reliability with feature innovation. Key responsibilities include partnering with R&D leads to solve core platform challenges, defining and launching customer-facing telematics APIs and webhooks for the enterprise segment, and driving platform readiness for strategic initiatives like international expansion. You will collaborate with AI teams to integrate telematics data as a core component of Motive's AI differentiation, including new analytics and automated workflows.
This role involves mentoring and coaching other product managers on the team, leading the productization of telematics data through API-first products and rich integrations for large enterprise customers, and serving as a central pillar of product leadership. You will drive alignment across product, engineering, and go-to-market teams without direct authority, wrestling with complex engineering challenges and building consensus across the organization.
Motive empowers people who run physical operations with tools to make their work safer, more productive, and more profitable. The company serves nearly 100,000 customers across transportation and logistics, construction, energy, field service, manufacturing, agriculture, food and beverage, retail, and the public sector.
Required qualifications include 8+ years of product management experience with a proven track record in a lead role, a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience), and demonstrated experience building and scaling complex data platforms, API-first products, IoT systems, or large-scale distributed systems. You should excel at managing platforms as products, balancing internal stakeholder needs with external customer requirements, and be comfortable diving deep into data while engaging with enterprise customers.
