This role will own a broad and evolving product space spanning the Fleet and B2B customer experience. You will work backwards from the needs of businesses of different sizes and levels of complexity to define experiences that are simple, scalable, and distinctly Slate.

- Work backwards from business customer needs to identify opportunities, define product requirements, and create simple and scalable experiences.
- Lead the development of new B2B capabilities from early customer discovery through launch, adoption, and continuous improvement.
- Develop a deep understanding of different business customer segments and translate those insights into clear product priorities.
- Partner closely with Engineering and Design to make product and technical trade-offs and deliver high-quality customer experiences.
- Collaborate across Commercial, Operations, Finance, Marketing, Service, and other teams to ensure cohesive end-to-end solutions.
- Engage directly with customers, partners, and industry experts to understand evolving needs and identify opportunities for Slate to differentiate.
- Define clear measures of success and use customer feedback, data, and business outcomes to continuously refine product strategy.
- Navigate complex and sometimes competing priorities, creating clarity and alignment across teams and senior stakeholders.
- Represent Fleet and B2B product strategy with senior and executive leadership.
- Raise the product management bar across the organization through strong product judgment, systems thinking, and mentorship of other product leaders.
- Embrace AI and emerging technologies both as product opportunities and as tools for accelerating how products are conceived, built, and improved.
| WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAMRequired- 10+ years of experience in product management or a related technical product role, with experience operating at a Staff, Principal, or equivalent level.
- Demonstrated success defining product vision and strategy across complex products, platforms, or multiple interconnected product areas.
- Experience building and launching B2B, enterprise, fleet, marketplace, or similarly complex customer-facing products.
- Track record of taking new products or major capabilities from concept through launch and ongoing evolution.
- Strong customer orientation and experience translating qualitative and quantitative insights into product strategy.
- Strong technical judgment and the ability to establish credibility with engineering teams while navigating complex product and technology trade-offs.
- Experience working effectively across multiple functions and influencing teams outside of your direct organizational ownership.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate with and influence senior and executive stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to create clarity in highly ambiguous environments.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred - Experience in automotive, mobility, transportation, logistics, connected products, or another industry where digital and physical experiences intersect.
- Experience building products for businesses ranging from small organizations to large enterprise customers.
- Experience working with external partners, platforms, or complex integrations.
