• Own the product, go-to-market strategy, roadmap, and execution for the Vocational segment across its full portfolio of industrial sub-segments.
• Expand market share, grow net revenue retention, and capture new opportunities by aligning product strategy with the operating environments, duty cycles, safety requirements, and adoption drivers of vocational customers.

• Coordinate a consistent go-to-market motion with Marketing, Business Development, Solutions Engineering, Global Enablement, Revenue Generation, customers, and partners across the segment's sub-segments.
• Lead annual planning for product strategy, roadmap, headcount, budget, and OKR input; track and report revenue, growth, market share, pipeline, retention, and competitive win-rate KPIs to board leadership.
• Build and develop a high-trust, high-accountability cross-functional team and foster a culture of segment expertise, customer obsession, commercial outcomes, AI-enabled efficiency, and continuous development.

• A bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field; an equivalent combination of education and related work experience may be substituted.
• 10+ years of experience in a product or go-to-market role within vocational, industrial fleet, or commercial and asset-intensive vehicle industries.
