About The Position

General Motors’ Commercial API Product team is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy and execution of some of GM's externally facing vehicle APIs. These APIs enable fleet customers and partners to integrate vehicle telematics data and vehicle controls directly into their own fleet management applications — powering scalable fleet operations, more personalized experiences and a connected and intelligent ecosystem. In this role, you will lead the product lifecycle for vehicle command APIs, vehicle telematics data retrieval APIs, and external data sharing capabilities that are mission-critical for our customers. You will partner with internal teams to identify, prioritize, develop, and externalize APIs that create value for customers by addressing their needs. You will also help expand GM's Commercial API product suite into new global markets and shape how vehicle data is securely shared with external developers and partners. Success in this role requires strong technical judgment, the ability to navigate complex cross-functional dependencies, and the ability to translate complex vehicle capabilities and data assets into intuitive customer-facing API products. A bias for action and comfort with ambiguity are essential in this environment. At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features. Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.
