This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Technical Product Manager based in the United States. Join an innovative automotive technology environment focused on redefining mobility through electrification, digital innovation, and modern operational systems. As a Staff Technical Product Manager, you will own a portfolio of internal digital products that help teams manage vehicle fleets, individual assets, locations, and shared operational resources. You will shape the tools, workflows, and access models that enable teams across the organization to operate efficiently, securely, and at scale. Working closely with Engineering, Design, Security, Legal, and Operations, you will translate complex business requirements into practical, scalable product solutions. This hands-on individual contributor role combines strategic product ownership with technical decision-making across both new product development and existing platforms.

Comfortable managing ambiguity, navigating change, and balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution in a fast-growing environment. * Regulatory and security awareness: Experience working in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments is an advantage, particularly where access controls, data protection, and auditability are important. * Preferred identity and security expertise: Familiarity with identity protocols and platforms such as SAML, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SCIM, Okta, or Microsoft Entra ID, as well as Zero Trust architecture principles. * Preferred enterprise technology experience: Exposure to SOC 2 or GDPR-regulated environments and experience with non-human identity patterns, including service accounts and scoped permissions for AI agents and automated services. * Preferred industry background: Experience in automotive, manufacturing, original equipment manufacturing (OEM), or multi-site operations is beneficial, although relevant transferable experience is also valued. * Travel and collaboration: Willingness to participate in occasional in-person meetings and company events, with the ability to travel as required. The role is remote within the United States, but it is not entirely free of in-person commitments.
