Senior Product Manager

Samsara is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own an end-to-end product area focused on fuel cost optimization and fleet efficiency, turning operational data into cost-saving energy-management products used by the world's largest fleets. This role is based in San Francisco, CA with a remote-friendly setup.

The position offers a base salary in the range of USD 116,322 to 195,500 per year, plus a performance-based bonus and equity for eligible roles, along with a flexible remote model, a professional development stipend, and comprehensive health and parental leave. The team emphasizes a customer-first approach, collaborative problem-solving, and sustainable, long-term growth.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation including base pay, incentive bonus, and equity (eligible roles)
• Flexible, employee-led remote model
• Professional development stipend
• Comprehensive health and parental leave plans

Responsibilities

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for a key product area, which may include fuel cost optimization, fleet efficiency, energy management, or operational cost intelligence.
• Translate Samsara's operational data—telematics, fuel consumption, idling, routing, vehicle health—into products that help customers reduce costs and improve fleet performance.
• Conduct deep discovery with fleet owners, fuel managers, operations leaders, and finance teams.
• Prototype and design MVPs yourself—clickable flows, working demos, rough cuts, often AI-assisted—to pressure-test ideas with customers before committing engineering time.
• Deliver end-to-end experiences with design, engineering, and data science—from backend pipelines and partner integrations to dashboards and mobile surfaces used daily.
• Define success metrics, build business cases for new initiatives, and drive a continuous cycle of experimentation and iteration grounded in data and customer feedback.
• 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.

Requirements

• 5+ years in product management, with a track record of shipping products used by real customers at scale.
• You can point to something you designed, prototyped, or built yourself and a cross-functional launch you drove end to end; you have both product making and product operating strengths.
• Hands-on with data: you can locate what you need, measure what isn’t tracked, define the KPIs that matter, and collaborate effectively with data science.
• Strong customer-research instincts and a habit of turning insights into actionable strategy that ships.
• Excellent communication skills; able to align cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, marketing, legal, GTM) and translate complex tradeoffs for diverse audiences.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
