About the Role: 

Are you passionate about defining and building products that can change how the physical economy operates? We are looking for an entrepreneurial Product Manager to lead the strategy and roadmap for our Public Sector segment, which will help Public Sector companies in the physical economy improve productivity, safety, efficiency, and profitability. 

This is an exciting opportunity to spearhead a strategic product area for the company that has direct executive involvement. You will lead the public sector product roadmap and collaborate with a senior engineering team on execution.

Being entrepreneurial and having a growth mindset is key.

We are always growing, learning, and adapting, in and out of the office. You’ll be joining a team that is highly engaged, competent and direct. We help each other to constantly improve our work and reach our potential. We’re dedicated to being agile, which means we’re constantly learning about our users’ experience and iterating as much as necessary to improve it.

• Recognized as the expert on Public Sector in the Motive Product organization
• Own the Public Sector Product strategy and roadmap, and understand what is needed to grow the segment from a product perspective. 
• Analyze market and competitive trends, to inform strategic decisions around our product offerings related to Public Sector
• Get close to our customers to discover their needs and translate that into solutions that help them get more out of Motive.
• Develop new products to drive growth, increase engagement and increase retention in Motive’s product
• Incorporate feedback and input from customers, partners and in-house teams on product strategy and find ways to expand product market reach
• Engage with our customers often, and become their champion
• Partner with business leaders from stakeholder teams on formulation and execution of strategy, vision and product roadmap

What We’re Looking For: 

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management, specifically experience within public sector or public sector customers
• Experience working closely with a B2B SaaS sales organization
• Have high “EQ”; be even-keeled, flexible, and able to quickly adapt to unexpected changes
• Sufficient technical skills to understand how our products are engineered
• High customer empathy, with a desire to get in the shoes of our customers

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.
