About the role
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.
Responsibilities
- Conduct intensive customer research onsite with clientele to determine go-forward strategy.
- Translate complex customer feedback into a clear value proposition, identifying the financial 'prize' and ROI for worker safety challenges.
- Bridge firmware engineering and software execution to define and deliver the 'Version 2' product roadmap.
- Evaluate the broader market landscape to determine Samsara's long-term 'right to win' in this sector.
- Leverage AI tools and creative visualizations to build demos and iterate on product concepts at high velocity.
- Collaborate with engineering and design to build full-stack solutions, making tradeoffs and accelerating delivery.
- Partner with go-to-market teams to win strategic deals, scale adoption, and inform future product direction.
- Establish success metrics, track performance, and iterate to ensure products deliver measurable impact.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of Product Management experience in high-growth, scrappy environments.
- Proven ability to build products from the ground up where no playbook exists.
- Exceptional first-principles thinking and ability to quantify market opportunities.
- Strong ability to 'pitch' a vision to internal stakeholders and external customers.
- Comfortable working closely with firmware engineers and technical teams.
