Product Management Leader (IC) - Core Experiences

About the role:

The Core Experiences team is part of our Platform organization and aims to deliver cohesive, best-in-class experiences across all of our web and mobile surfaces. These surfaces support our customers across their entire operations and power their most critical tasks - whether it’s helping drivers to maintain compliance and understand their routes or helping administrators receive critical alerts about safety events that need immediate attention. Over the next few years, we’ll be rapidly adding new unique experiences and products to our portfolio, which means that our core surfaces will become even more critical and need to expand to support millions of users. We’re looking for an experienced Product Manager to help drive this new growth and tackle the new challenges that it brings.

As a member of the Product team, you’ll be responsible for the end-to-end success of new products and features that delight our customers and further Samsara’s vision. Samsara’s approach to product management is rooted in a deep understanding of the customer. You’ll learn about our customers’ operations, identify the most meaningful problems that we could solve for them, and develop a product vision that maximizes the impact Samsara can make on the market. With a laser focus, entrepreneurial spirit, and easy-to-work-with collaborative approach, you’ll help us drive the next step change in growth of our mobile applications.

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-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.
