Motive is a B2B SaaS platform that empowers physical operations teams—including safety, operations, and finance—with unified tools for managing drivers, vehicles, equipment, and fleet spend. The company serves nearly 100,000 customers across transportation, logistics, construction, energy, field service, manufacturing, agriculture, food & beverage, retail, and public sector.
The Platform Services Organization is the engineering backbone, delivering foundational infrastructure, developer ecosystem tooling, cloud operations, SRE reliability, data pipelines, and core services. As Motive scales, this organization requires unified execution across horizontal initiatives.
You will join as a Technical Program Manager reporting directly to the VP of Platform Services Engineering. This is a strategic operational leadership role driving high-impact, cross-cutting technical programs spanning Motive's entire product and engineering organization.
Key responsibilities include:
- Translating organizational priorities into clear, executable program roadmaps with measurable business outcomes in partnership with the VP and Engineering Managers
- Leading end-to-end execution of complex, cross-functional technical programs from definition through delivery and adoption
- Driving alignment across engineering and partner teams by managing goals, milestones, dependencies, decisions, and execution risks
- Building scalable program mechanisms including roadmap reviews, status reporting, escalation paths, and success metrics
- Identifying systemic issues and execution gaps early, leading teams toward practical, durable solutions
- Influencing technical and business stakeholders to make informed tradeoff decisions and keep strategic initiatives moving
- Mentoring others through strong program management practices and elevating execution standards
- Driving Monthly/Quarterly Business Reviews, executive reporting, and cross-organizational communications
- Collaborating with Product leadership on mapping product roadmaps into multi-team programs
- Implementing dynamic program tracking frameworks that flag delivery risks weeks in advance
You will act as a cross-functional orchestrator—not managing day-to-day sprints or acting as an administrative taskmaster, but rather driving platform adoption, unblocking architectural shifts, and aligning multi-team investments.
