About The Position

At Platform Science, we’re working to connect everything that moves. Founded in 2015, we are an open IoT platform that partners with innovative fleets, application developers, vehicle manufacturers, and equipment providers in the transportation industry to deliver revolutionary solutions to supply chain professionals across the globe. Our employees are an engaging, diverse group of people who believe in the power of great ideas. We hire people with different experiences and perspectives to build a company culture that fuels growth through innovation. We value thoughtful actions and empathy for others. We approach challenges with resiliency and creativity, while encouraging transparency because, no matter our backgrounds or responsibilities, we are one team. About the Role Commercial fleets increasingly operate mixed-brand vehicles, and today’s fragmented tool landscape forces managers to juggle multiple systems. This role sits at the center of the effort to give them one coherent experience, without erasing the partner intelligence that makes each brand valuable. You’ll shape a platform that hundreds of thousands of vehicles depend on daily, and where fleet managers monitor, diagnose, and act on vehicle data across multiple truck manufacturers, all from a single interface. We’re looking for a product leader to make this multi-brand experience possible. The core challenge: build a shared foundation that normalizes data and workflows across OEM partners, while giving each partner the ability to surface their own differentiated intelligence and branding within that shared experience. You’ll balance platform consistency with partner extensibility, at enterprise scale. You’ll report to the Director of Product and partner closely with engineering, design, QA, product marketing, and global business units. You’ll also coordinate with teams responsible for shared platform services (authentication, entitlements, core data models) that our OEM experiences depend on.

Requirements

7+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years at the Senior or Staff level.
Proven ownership of a key area or an entire SaaS or enterprise web application.
Track record of migrating users from legacy systems to new platforms: you understand the sequencing, tooling, and customer communication required to pull this off cleanly.
Strong UX instincts for enterprise software: you believe admin tools should be intuitive, not just functional, and you push for smart defaults with granular overrides.
Track record of shipping iteratively in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
Strong data-product instincts: you’ve worked with normalization layers, data pipelines, or analytics products and can reason about schema design trade-offs with engineering.
Ability to manage competing stakeholder needs; external partners, end customers, internal teams, and distill them into a coherent, sequenced roadmap.
Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting strategy to senior leadership and external partners.
Exhibits a positive, can-do attitude and is willing to work in a hyper-growth environment. In other words, roll up your sleeves and thrive in a fast-paced start-up

Own go-to-market coordination with product marketing, customer success, and sales enablement for launches, migrations, and feature releases.
Establish and track success metrics (adoption, engagement, migration progress, partner satisfaction) and use them to inform roadmap decisions.
