What You'll Do:

• Own the long-term vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Telematics data platform, balancing enterprise-grade reliability with feature innovation.
• Partner closely with R&D leads to solve core platform challenges and deliver enterprise-grade reliability for key data services.
• Lead defining and launching customer-facing Telematics APIs, webhooks, and data integrations for the Enterprise segment.
• Drive platform readiness for strategic initiatives, including international expansion.
• Collaborate with AI teams to make telematics data a core component of Motive's AI differentiation, including new analytics and automated workflows.
• Mentor and coach other Product Managers on the team to scale the product function within this critical domain.
• Lead the charge in productizing telematics data directly by building API-first products and rich integrations for the largest Enterprise customers.

• Exhibit experience building and scaling complex data platforms, API-first products, IoT systems, or large-scale distributed systems.
• Know how to manage a platform as a product, balancing the needs of multiple internal stakeholders with external customer requirements.
• Demonstrate the ability to drive alignment, influence roadmaps, and build consensus across numerous product, engineering, and GTM teams without direct authority.
• Be able to dive deep into data to understand platform health while also engaging with enterprise customers to understand their integration needs.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment and be comfortable navigating ambiguity and complexity.
