Motive is looking for a Lead, Safety and Compliance Strategy. In this role, you will work internally across Motive’s different teams and also externally to provide thought leadership in the safety and compliance arena. You will provide context to enhance risk, safety, and compliance strategies. You would also enable internal Sales teams on the value customers are seeking via enhanced safety & compliance, influence the productization of value-added Professional Services, and build brand awareness for Motive via attending conferences, writing white papers/articles & other speaking engagements. 

What You’ll Do:

●  How should we prioritize development for the greatest return

These professional engagements provide clients with the following:

●  Hardware installation planning to minimize operational impact
●  Training for users of the Motive system
●  Scoping of KPIs and business intelligence needs
Brand Awareness/Regulatory Advocacy: Seek to improve awareness of the Motive brand by soliciting speaking engagements (e.g., panels at conferences), "Safety Leader Bootcamps", recording podcasts, authoring articles and leveraging other channels of thought leadership. In addition, you would broaden Motive’s involvement in relevant trade associations. For example, you would serve as Motive’s representative at meetings of the American Trucking Associations, Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, Canadian Trucking Alliance, National Private Truck Council along with other state and national associations. This involvement would also yield benefits in terms of regulatory and legislative advocacy on matters of interest to Motive. 

What We're Looking For:

●  One or more of experiences within transportation segments (Waste, Oil/Gas, Trucking, Services, Transit and Federal or State Government)

●  Working knowledge of OSHA, DOT, EPA, FMCSR regulations
●  Experience in safety program development, implementation, monitoring, and reporting.
