- Lead annual planning for product strategy, roadmap, headcount, budget, and OKR input; track and report revenue, growth, market share, pipeline, retention, and competitive win-rate KPIs to board leadership.
- Build and develop a high-trust, high-accountability cross-functional team and foster a culture of segment expertise, customer obsession, commercial outcomes, AI-enabled efficiency, and continuous development.
What you'll bring to the role:
- A bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field; an equivalent combination of education and related work experience may be substituted.
- 10+ years of experience in a product or go-to-market role within vocational, industrial fleet, or commercial and asset-intensive vehicle industries.
