Job description

Motive empowers the people who run physical operations with tools to make their work safer, more productive, and more profitable. For the first time ever, safety, operations and finance teams can manage their drivers, vehicles, equipment, and fleet related spend in a single system. Combined with industry leading AI, the Motive platform gives you complete visibility and control, and significantly reduces manual workloads by automating and simplifying tasks.

Motive serves nearly 100,000 customers – from Fortune 500 enterprises to small businesses – across a wide range of industries, including transportation and logistics, construction, energy, field service, manufacturing, agriculture, food and beverage, retail, and the public sector.

We are looking for a relentless and strategic partner manager to build and accelerate our partner ecosystem across the Mexico region. Reporting to the GTM Partnerships team and partnering closely with Mexico Sales leadership, you will be the primary engine behind unlocking indirect revenue streams in this critical market.

This is not a passive maintenance role. We need a builder who is hungry to hunt for new opportunities. You will be responsible for securing and managing critical commercial partnerships (Resellers, Distributors, Integrators) and recruiting the channel partners necessary to transact at scale.

You will sit at the intersection of Sales, Legal, and Strategy, translating our value proposition into streamlined revenue channels for our regional sales team. If you have a gritty, "get it done" mentality and deep experience navigating the intersection of SaaS/Hardware and the Mexican channel market, this is your opportunity to help build a massive vertical at Motive.

Key Responsibilities

• Build the Ecosystem: Identify, recruit, and onboard high-value Resellers, Distributors, Systems Integrators, and Telematics Service Providers to broaden our reach throughout Mexico.
• Drive Revenue: Actively manage partner relationships to drive pipeline generation. You won't just sign partners; you will ensure they are trained, motivated, and selling effectively in the local market.
• Market Mapping: Analyze the local competitive landscape to identify which verticals and regions have the highest need for our Fleet Safety and management solutions.
• Program Management & Execution
• Own the Region: Lead the strategy and execution for acquiring and maintaining critical partnerships that align with local business practices and commercial norms.
• Strategic Co-Selling & Market Adaptation: Drive joint business planning with top-tier partners to attack key verticals. You will act as the "Voice of the Partner" internally, guiding our Product and Marketing teams to ensure our positioning, pricing, and value proposition resonate with the market.
• Compliance & Operations: Maintain strict compliance with local regulations and business standards, ensuring our price lists, product catalogs, and partner agreements are localized and up-to-date.
• Internal Enablement & Collaboration
• Bridge the Gap: Serve as the internal subject matter expert (SME) for the Mexico Direct Sales team. Teach them how to use our partners to close deals faster and without friction.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with Legal, Marketing, Product, and Finance to ensure our regional offerings are scalable, compliant, and culturally relevant.
• Performance Tracking: Monitor partner performance and contract utilization, reporting KPIs and ROI back to the Director of GTM Partnerships.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in Business Development, Partnerships, or Channel Sales, with a specific focus on the Mexico region and market.
• The Hunter Mentality: You are proactive. You don’t wait for a lead to drop; you are shaping the requirement beforehand. You are comfortable cold-calling potential partners and navigating complex organizations to find the decision-maker.
• Language & Location: Must be based in Mexico City with the ability to work a hybrid in-office schedule. You must be fluent in Spanish and capable of conducting business negotiations seamlessly in both Spanish and English.
• Channel Fluency: Deep understanding of the Mexican channel landscape, distribution models, and the role of resellers/integrators in B2B sales.
• Industry Background: Experience in SaaS, IoT, Hardware, or the Mobility/Transportation industry is highly preferred. Understanding how to sell physical + digital solutions to commercial fleets is a major differentiator.
• Communication: Ability to distill complex product and program language into simple, actionable advice for sales reps, partners, and executives.
• Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in using CRM tools (Salesforce) to track partner leads, deal registration, and revenue attribution.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: You will be building a revenue pillar from the ground up with high visibility from Executive Leadership.
• Market Opportunity: The logistics and transportation modernization wave in Mexico is massive, and our product is perfectly positioned to capture it.
• Culture: We value builders and owners. You will have autonomy to execute the joint partner strategy developed with Mexico Sales leadership teams.

Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of Motive's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
