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, and Equipment Monitoring. 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.
Samsara is looking for a talented and execution-focused Senior Program Manager to join our Sales Programs AI team. In this role, you’ll drive the successful delivery of Samsara’s most critical AI initiatives, ranging from internal productivity copilots to customer-facing AI applications. You’ll work in tight partnership with our Principal AI Architect and partner cross-functionally with key stakeholders in Sales, Revenue Operations, and other Go-To-Market organizations.
This role requires strong program management skills, the ability to operate across technical and business domains, and a demonstrated passion for emerging AI technologies. The ideal candidate is organized, curious, and able to convert ideas into action in a fast-paced environment.

- You build genuine relationships with your customers: The industries we serve have relied on pen-and-paper solutions for years and haven’t been met with the type of technology we offer. Our customer's value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
