Samsara is seeking a highly entrepreneurial and strategic Principal Product Manager to lead our Worker Safety initiative. This is a critical "zero-to-one" opportunity to take an early-access product and define its long-term market position. You will act as the single-threaded owner, providing the core strategy and market fit that this initiative needs to transition to a fully scalable business solution.
The ideal candidate is a relentless problem-solver—someone who can navigate an unscripted roadmap, engage directly with customers, and quantify the business opportunity with first-principles thinking.
• Customer discovery and market validation through launch and scale.
• Conduct deep market and user research to uncover unmet needs in physical operations and translate them into differentiated product opportunities.
• Define and communicate a compelling product vision and roadmap that balances customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and design to build full-stack solutions, leveraging your technical understanding to make tradeoffs and accelerate delivery.
• Partner with go-to-market teams (sales, customer success, marketing) to win strategic deals, scale adoption, and inform future product direction.
• Establish success metrics, track performance, and iterate quickly to ensure products deliver measurable impact for customers and revenue growth for Samsara.
• 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).
• Experience : 8+ years of Product Management experience, with a track record of success in high-growth, scrappy environments.
• Zero-to-One Mindset : Proven ability to build products from the ground up where no playbook exists.
• Analytical Rigor : Exceptional first-principles thinking and the ability to quantify market opportunities and prioritize engineering directions based on conviction.
• Communication : Strong ability to "pitch" a vision to internal stakeholders and external customers alike.
• Technical Literacy : While a hardware background is not required, the candidate must be comfortable working closely with firmware engineers and technical teams.
