Who we are
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.
Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.
About the role:
We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead the development of the Workforce Platform at Samsara.
The Workforce Platform is the backbone of several new products that streamline data collection, storage, UX, and workflow automation across Samsara. Your mission is to build a platform that enables us to develop and scale new products quickly and efficiently with metadata-driven, config-based development rather than hardcoded use-case specific development.
As the Senior Product Manager, you’ll be responsible for driving the vision, strategy, and execution of the platform, ensuring it meets the needs of our internal product teams and Samsara customers. This is a highly cross-functional role where you’ll collaborate closely with the dedicated Workforce teams, as well as across other Samsara product teams.
This is a hybrid position requiring 2-3 days per week in our San Francisco, CA office and 2-3 days working remotely. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
You should apply if:
You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.
In this role, you will:
Define and drive the product vision and roadmap for the Workforce Platform, ensuring alignment with Samsara’s business objectives and customer needs.
Collaborate with engineering, design, and other cross-functional teams who depend on your team’s capabilities. Prioritize and deliver platform features and enhancements.
Serve as the primary liaison for internal product teams, understanding their requirements and ensuring the Workforce Platform enables rapid new product development.
Conduct market and user research to inform product decisions and identify new opportunities for innovation.
Promote the Workforce Platform both internally and externally, driving adoption and providing thought leadership in the industry.
Partner with customer-facing teams to close strategic accounts, resolve escalations, and maintain relationships with top customers.
Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices
Minimum requirements for the role:
5+ years of experience in a product management role, with demonstrable experience of delivering new products from concept through launch.
Deep technical understanding of concepts related to relational data, data modeling, UX data presentation and layout, and API integrations. Ability to grasp technical concepts & establish credibility with engineers.
Strong analytical skills and the ability to leverage data to drive product decisions.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working on cross-functional teams across a robust product ecosystem at enterprise scale.
Ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver high-quality product experiences on tight timelines and in line with our business aspirations.
An ideal candidate also has:
Bachelors or Masters degree in a technical field; an MBA is a plus.
Experience with both technical and UX-focused development.
Understanding of the software development lifecycle and track record of managing both external and internal customers as key stakeholders in roadmap planning and development.
Familiarity with B2B SaaS products and working with B2B sales teams.
Familiarity with operational challenges and needs in industries such as transportation, logistics, and field services.
