SENIORITY
Manager
About the role
- Own the three-year vision for device installation and provisioning, defining how Samsara hardware comes online as the platform expands across new products, device types, and geographies.
- Own install correctness. Set the target, instrument the funnel so every outcome is attributable, and move the number quarter over quarter.
- Own the guided install and verification flow in the Samsara Fleet app, for professional installers and for customers who install hardware themselves.
- Build the intelligence that verifies an install is correct, checking camera aim, wiring, and signal quality while the installer is still standing at the vehicle.
- Give operations leaders a live view of fleet readiness: what is installed, what is verified, and what is producing data.
- Ride along on installs and run sessions in customer yards, then turn what you observe into roadmap that shapes hardware, firmware, and software decisions.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles as we scale globally.
- Minimum requirements for the role:7+ years of product management experience shipping products used by external customers.
- A record of owning a business or product metric and changing its trajectory, with a before and after you can walk us through.
- Experience building something from zero to one without a spec, a defined customer, or a playbook.
- Technical depth sufficient for engineers to treat you as a peer: a degree in Computer Science or Engineering, prior experience as an engineer, or demonstrated fluency in system architecture trade-offs.
- Proven ability to operate at both altitudes, setting multi-year direction and reviewing the details of a screen flow in the same week.
- Executive-level communication and presence, comfortable presenting and defending strategy to the CEO, CPO, and customers.
- Based in a North American time zone. We will consider strong candidates in Europe.
- We do not require prior experience with hardware, vehicles, telematics, or field installation. We hire for technical depth, evidence of building from zero to one, and a record of owning a number and moving it.
- An ideal candidate also has:
- Experience building mobile products for people who work with their hands, in loud, time-pressured, or offline conditions.
- A habit of primary research, with specific examples of what watching a customer taught you that a dashboard could not.
- Prior work on products where software and hardware depend on each other.
- Experience instrumenting a funnel and running experiments against it.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
