Senior Product Manager, Security and Data

Who we are:

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.

As the Senior Product Manager, Security and Data, you will define and drive the strategy, roadmap, and execution for foundational capabilities that strengthen product security, improve data quality and access, and increase customer trust across Motive's platform. You will work at the intersection of customer needs, platform investment, and business priorities to deliver capabilities that enable teams across the company to build safer, smarter, and more scalable products.

This is a high-impact role for a product leader who is equally comfortable shaping long-term direction and driving cross-functional execution. You will report into a Director of Product. The right candidate brings strong product judgment, systems thinking, and the ability to build alignment across engineering, design, data, security, and go-to-market stakeholders around complex, high-leverage initiatives.

This is a Hybrid role based in SF.

What You’ll Do:

• Define the product strategy and roadmap for security and data capabilities that improve platform resilience, trust, and scalability.
• Build a deep understanding of customer, internal stakeholder, and business needs to identify high-impact opportunities across security, governance, access, and data usability.
• Partner cross-functionally with engineering, design, data, security, legal, and go-to-market teams to translate priorities into clear product requirements and successful launches.
• Drive complex initiatives from discovery through delivery, making thoughtful tradeoffs across customer value, technical constraints, operational readiness, and long-term platform health.
• Act as a subject matter leader for your product area by aligning stakeholders, informing decision-making, and measuring outcomes to continuously improve product performance.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of technical or platform-oriented products.
• Strong experience working on security, data, infrastructure, platform, privacy, governance, or other highly technical product domains.
• Demonstrated ability to define strategy, prioritize effectively, and execute across multiple complex initiatives with cross-functional dependencies.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to use qualitative insights and quantitative data to make sound product decisions.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust and consensus across teams and levels of the organization.
