Motive builds technology to improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of the physical economy. The Platform Services Organization serves as the backbone of Motive’s engineering operations, delivering foundational infrastructure, developer ecosystem tooling, cloud operations, SRE reliability, data pipelines, and core services capabilities.
As Motive scales, our platform architecture requires unified, company-wide execution across horizontal initiatives. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to join as a strategic operational leader. Reporting directly to the VP of Platform Services, this role will drive high-impact, cross-cutting technical programs that span across Motive’s entire product and engineering organization.
As a Staff Technical Program Manager at Motive, you will lead complex, high-impact programs that strengthen our platform foundations and improve how engineering teams deliver at scale. This role is ideal for someone who brings strong technical judgment, structured program leadership, and the ability to create clarity across ambiguity, dependencies, and competing priorities. You will report into VP, Platform Services Engineering.
You will work across multiple engineering teams and partner functions to drive planning, execution, risk management, and operations.. You will help align teams around clear outcomes, improve execution across interdependent roadmaps, and raise the bar for how Motive delivers cross-functional platform initiatives. You will not be managing day-to-day sprint boards or acting as an administrative taskmaster. Instead, you will act as a cross-functional orchestrator - driving platform adoption, unblocking architectural shifts, and aligning multi-team investments across all of Motive.
