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:

Samsara’s Customer Success (CS) team advises and guides our customers, ensuring they adopt Samsara and continuously gain business value from our products. We are the trusted point of contact for Samsara’s customers throughout their lifecycle: onboarding, adoption, advocacy, and renewal.
As part of the CS Operations team, the Strategic Program Manager will own and lead large-scale transformational programs supporting the Customer Success organization.  This person will work closely with Customer Success stakeholders to identify critical priorities for the business, and scope, develop, and manage delivery of the work.  This role requires a passion for scaling organizations, streamlining operations, and driving change management. Successful candidates have strong business acumen, a passion for building at scale, and a track record of driving strategic programs that improve the customer experience.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Canada.

You should apply if:

  • You want to impact the industries that run our world: Every phone call you answer and every email you send can affect whether truck drivers deliver goods on time and without accidents, whether students get dropped off safely from school, or whether power gets restored quickly after a natural disaster.
  • You thrive the most when solving problems: Our constantly expanding technology and the complexities faced by our customers provide an exciting range of challenges for our Customer Success teams. With a growth mindset and a desire to learn, you will strategically partner with our CSM team to find unique solutions to help keep our customers' operations safe, efficient, and sustainable.
  • You are a natural relationship builder: Whether the relationship is with our customers or with cross-functional teams in Samsara, you are in constant communication and collaboration with key stakeholders to win as a team.
  • You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. This Customer Success team is still shaping its future and you will have plenty of autonomy and opportunities to master your craft in a hyper-growth environment.
  • You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by the best and brightest professionals out there.
In this role, you will: 
  • Lead the end-to-end planning and delivery of our highest priority and most complex programs with an expert approach to execution, governance and change management
  • Develop comprehensive program strategies, roadmaps and plans, expertly framing the need, scoping and roadmapping the work, owning governance and stakeholder engagement, defining KPIs, and reporting on results
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and drive alignment, owning program reporting and communication, and partnering to iterate and improve outcomes for Samsara and our customers
  • Identify and tackle operational problems through processes, tools, and dashboards that scale and mitigate risks through proactive solutions and communications
  • 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:

  • Bachelor's Degree from a 4-year institution 
  • 6-8 years of program management, customer success operations, strategy or consulting experience, ideally in a high-growth SaaS environment or fast-paced technology consulting role
  • Demonstrated success launching transformational initiatives that measurably improve the customer experience and support scalability within the business
  • Strong program management tool-kit, including problem solving and decision making skills, able to quickly ramp up on business priorities and derive insights from data
  • Clear and confident communication, including ability to influence and lead cross-functional stakeholders, executives and front line managers
  • Diplomacy, tact, and poise under pressure when working through issues, skilled at having prioritization conversations and discussing tradeoffs

An ideal candidate also has:

  • Experience with B2B hardware and SaaS products 
  • PMP certification, Agile/Scrum Certification, Prosci Certification, and/or advanced training in Project/Program Management
  • Experience in a global Operations, Customer Success, or Customer Experience organization
