We are seeking a Partnership/Business Development Leader with a rare combination of deep domain expertise in payment systems and relentless intellectual curiosity to apply it to a new industry: the physical economy. This role is for someone who doesn't just understand the mechanics of money flow, but can truly see the matrix: from the moment a card is swiped or tapped to the intricate dance of backend software, processors, and issuers, including how costs and profits are distributed across the different players in the value chain.

We need you to take that foundational knowledge in credit card issuing and processing and deploy it as a force multiplier in business development discussions across the entire payments ecosystem. You will join a high-performing team, working directly with our Fuel Merchant Partnership lead who has already built a robust fuel merchant network. You will be a skilled and empathetic negotiator, focused on creating mutually beneficial partnerships by expertly balancing the right "gives and gets" for long-term success. Beyond the boardroom, you possess the energy and intellectual horsepower to master the complex world of fleet fuel, EV charging, and non-fuel purchases across varying global landscapes, starting with North America and Europe. If you are driven by the opportunity to continuously learn, broaden your experience, and apply your strategic mind to redefine an industry, this is your next career step.

This role will reside in the Product Partnership organization that rolls up to the Chief Product Officer. This is not a quota carrying position, but rather will be measured by achievement of the business objectives we define that will unlock new markets and financial services opportunities for Motive.

Strong strategic and analytical skills, with a track record of using data to inform decisions and investments.

Ability to travel in the U.S. and abroad. Travel is roughly 10-15%, typically to start partnerships then most coordination with partners can be remote.
