About the Role
As a Material Program Manager, you will lead cross-functional material programs from planning through new product introduction and production ramp. You will translate product and demand requirements into material readiness plans, manage supply risks, and drive timely decisions across Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Operations, Finance, and external suppliers.

The ideal candidate combines strong supply chain expertise with disciplined program management. You will have the opportunity to improve material planning, supplier readiness, cost, quality, and delivery performance across Motive’s hardware programs.
What You’ll Do
- Lead end-to-end material programs across product development, new product introduction, production ramp, and sustaining operations.
- Build and manage program plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, and mitigation actions.
- Translate product requirements and demand forecasts into material readiness plans covering bills of materials, sourcing, capacity, lead times, inventory, and allocation.
- Drive supplier readiness and resolve material, quality, capacity, and delivery escalations.
- Establish program reviews, performance metrics, and reporting to communicate progress and support decision-making.
- Identify root causes and implement process improvements that reduce cost, lead time, and supply risk.
