About The Role

We are not solving a small problem, and we’re not addressing a small market. We are addressing significant issues faced by trillion-dollar industries that power the physical economy, including logistics, transportation, food & beverage, passenger transit, construction, and oil & gas. These businesses continue to be the lifelines of our economy. The opportunity here is enormous, and you will have a massive impact.

We are seeking an experienced product leader to join our Safety Product team, where you will be owning a suite of integrated, intelligent safety solutions for drivers, fleets and partners.

You will work alongside a star team from engineering, data science, computer vision, research & design, marketing, operations, legal, sales & customer success in a fast-paced, rapidly growing, technology environment to build intelligent experiences to shift behavior and drive ROI-positive impact for customers.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own the product roadmap and strategy for several key elements of the Safety platform, driving the overall product to its next stage of growth
  • Lead the end-to-end customer experience for Safety events, from data ingestion to the customer-facing dashboard
  • Serve as a critical driver for high-impact Enterprise-grade features that significantly increase customer value and platform adoption
  • Accelerate the advancement of our industry-leading collision detection system, maintaining our competitive advantage
  • Deeply engage with customers to understand their critical needs and translate those insights into product solutions that maximize their value and ROI from our platform
  • Be bold and think strategically about improvements to our product or new frontiers of growth
  • Strive in a player/coach role and mentor a high-performing team to deliver exceptional product outcomes while rolling up your sleeves and maintaining a hands-on approach to project execution
  • Demonstrate proficiency in navigating the technical complexities of the product, spanning software, hardware, AI, and data domains
  • Partner with business leaders from various stakeholder teams on formulation and execution of strategy, vision and product roadmap
  • Partner closely with our engineering and design team to build capabilities that turn our customers into raving fans
  • Conduct market research that will assist in driving feature prioritization
  • Collaborate with GTM teams to develop sales strategies and marketing campaigns
  • Analyze performance metrics to measure the success of product launches
  • Actively contribute to an amazing work culture

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience with Product Management
  • Strong experience working with UI/UX design teams
  • High customer empathy, with a desire to get in the shoes of our customers
  • Have high “EQ”; be even-keeled, flexible, and able to quickly adapt to unexpected changes
  • Proven experience in delivering commercially successful software products
  • Be data-driven; you regularly seek out and use hard data and metrics to back up assumptions and opinions
  • You are comfortable and confident sharing your thoughts in verbal or written form. You can engage constructively in debate and discussion with different personality types and seniority levels.
  • You are a trailblazer who is humble, kind, and open to learning new stuff. You can take a stand yet commit even when you disagree. You have a strong bias to action (aka hustle) and are not afraid to get your hands dirty.
  • Have enough technical knowledge to enough to gain the respect of engineers
  • Experience working effectively with remote/offshore teams
