Who We Are

At Platform Science, we’re working to connect everything that moves. Founded in 2015, we are an open IoT platform that partners with innovative fleets, application developers, vehicle manufacturers, and equipment providers in the transportation industry to deliver revolutionary solutions to supply chain professionals across the globe.

We value thoughtful actions and empathy for others. We approach challenges with resiliency and creativity, while encouraging transparency because, no matter our backgrounds or responsibilities, we are one team.

About the Role

We are seeking a strategic, visionary, and people-first Head of Product Managment to lead our European Mobility product organization.

Reporting directly to the General Manager of Europe Mobility, you will take full ownership of our product strategy, portfolio roadmap, and execution across 8 European countries. In this role, strategic vision must be paired with outstanding people leadership. You will manage, mentor, and grow a multi-regional team of 16 people (including Senior Product Managers, Product Owners, UI/UX, and Technical Writers), fostering a culture of trust, accountability, continuous coaching, and customer-centric execution. You will oversee and steer a solution portfolio that integrates SaaS platforms, telematics hardware, telco interfaces, and market-specific fleet management capabilities.

Essential Responsibilities

Leadership & Team Growth

• Lead and Inspire: Build, coach, and retain a high-performing team of Product Managers and Product Owners distributed across multiple European hubs.

• Culture & Mentorship: Cultivate a collaborative, psychologically safe, and continuous-learning environment. Guide your team on backlog health, stakeholder alignment, market validation, OKR setting, and customer discovery best practices.

• Resource & Capacity Management: Structure teams effectively to ensure optimal allocation across core maintenance, strategic growth initiatives, and regional localization.

Product & Portfolio Strategy

• Portfolio Strategy: Define and execute the multi-year product strategy for Mobility solutions across European markets, aligning product goals with broader business unit growth targets.

• Roadmap Ownership & Global Influence: Own the European product roadmap while actively influencing the North American (NA) roadmap for common global products, balancing short-term technical enhancements with long-term technological standards and market opportunities.

• Lifecycle Governance: Oversee end-to-end product lifecycles—from market analysis and requirement definition to go-to-market enablement and deprecation.

Executive Leadership & Commercial Alignment

• Senior Leadership Team (SLT): Serve as an active contributor to the executive leadership team running the Europe Mobility business, influencing commercial strategy, operational direction, and regional expansion.

• Financial Oversight: Manage the product portfolio budget, monitor product KPIs, forecast revenue impacts, and ensure product financial health.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Engineering, Go-To-Market (Sales & Marketing), Customer Support, and Operations to ensure complete operational readiness for product releases.

Market & Customer Focus

• Customer Voice: Act as an executive sponsor for key regional customers, partners, and enterprise accounts across Europe, integrating feedback into product decisions.

• Market Intelligence: Monitor fleet management, telematics, and logistics technology trends across target countries to anticipate threats and capture market share.

Experience & Qualifications

• Proven Leadership: 8+ years in product management with a strong track record of leading, mentoring, and developing teams of Product Managers and Product Owners in a B2B environment.

• Domain Expertise: Prior experience in the transportation industry, telematics, fleet management, logistics, mobility software, or multi-layered SaaS/hardware environments is highly required.

• Strategic & Commercial Acumen: Proven experience serving on leadership teams, setting multi-country roadmaps, managing product budgets, and driving business metrics/OKRs.

• Technical Understanding: Deep understanding of software architecture, SaaS models, web/mobile applications, hardware integration, and telco constraints.

• Communication: Exceptional cross-cultural communication, influencing, and relationship-building skills across international cross-functional teams.

• Travel Requirements: Willingness and ability to travel to various European office locations and customer sites (~25% of the time).

• Education: Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or equivalent practical experience.

• Languages: Fluency in English is mandatory. A good understanding of Dutch and/or French is a strong advantage.
