Sr Product Operations Manager

Samsara Samsara · Enterprise · San Francisco, CA · R&D Ops

This role is for a Senior Product Operations Manager at Samsara, a company focused on the Connected Operations Cloud for industries like transportation and manufacturing. The role involves partnering with Product & Engineering leadership to build product data insights, drive operating forums, and execute high-priority initiatives. Key responsibilities include driving operating reviews, building and monitoring metrics, identifying growth opportunities, launching new revenue streams, and building operational artifacts like roadmaps and dashboards. The role requires strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with experience in consulting or business operations. While the company uses AI tools (Databricks, Claude mentioned as ideal), the role itself is not directly building or researching AI/ML models, making it non-AI related.

  1. Drive critical Product VP+ operating reviews, including execution check in, post-launch feedback loops and portfolio prioritization discussions.
  2. Build and monitor key metrics and customer feedback to develop actionable insights.
