Role summary
Motional is seeking a Director of Product Management to lead its product team and define the product vision for its autonomous vehicle service. Reporting to the VP, Commercialization, this strategic leader will oversee the design of the entire AV system, incorporating feedback from various stakeholders to ensure an optimal rider experience and sustainable business model. The role involves consolidating roadmaps, establishing prioritization frameworks, and driving product strategy for autonomy tools and data pipelines. Key responsibilities include orchestrating hardware and software synergy, influencing platform development with OEMs, and managing internal collaborations to align technical execution with commercial obligations. The Director will also define success metrics and track KPIs to ensure measurable improvements in the Operational Design Domain and rider experience. This pivotal role requires a visionary leader with deep technical understanding and strong cross-functional leadership skills, transitioning the company from development to commercial deployment.
Mission Summary:
Reporting to the VP, Commercialization, the Director of Product Management will serve as the strategic leader for Motional’s product team and lead the design and execution of product vision and design to ensure every rider has the best rider experience possible. Working closely with executive and senior leaders and a team of product managers, you will build out our product vision and oversee the design of our entire AV system of systems. You will incorporate feedback from riders, executives, shareholders and customers and leverage these insights to ensure we are providing the best possible experience with a sustainable business mindset. This includes aligning roadmaps and products across Autonomy, Engineering, Operations, Mission Support, and Commercial teams.
This is a pivotal time to join Motional because we are at a historic stage of transitioning from developing an autonomous vehicle to deploying and operating a commercial driverless service. As we transition from development to deployment in Las Vegas in 2026, we are setting the stage to scale our technology globally. This role requires a visionary product leader who can zoom out to build a cohesive Motional point of view on the product experience, while zooming in to untangle complex technical dependencies between hardware, AI, and operations. You will ultimately lead our product teams, establishing a high-velocity development loop that ensures every release is safer, more performant, and more commercially viable than the last and our tools develop and scale for growth.
This role will be expected to travel up to 50% of the time depending on the business purpose and product deliverables.
