Product Management Leader (IC) - Electric Vehicles and Sustainability

About the role:

At Samsara, we provide our customers with an integrated platform to improve the Safety, Efficiency, and Sustainability of their fleets, and we aspire to be the partner of choice for our customers’ Sustainability goals in both the near- and long-term. We are looking for an experienced, hands-on, entrepreneurial Product Manager with a deep expertise in Sustainable Fleets and Electric Vehicles to articulate and execute on this vision. You will own a key part of the Samsara Telematics portfolio aimed at helping our customers transition to more efficient vehicles. This includes optimizing ICE vehicles in our customers’ fleets today by reducing fuel consumption and costs, preparing for the Electric or Alternative Fuel fleet of the future, and (for more advanced customers) operating EVs at scale.

The role will be fast-paced and highly cross-functional — one day you could be prototyping a new cable alongside our Hardware teams, the next you could be co-creating a UX flow with customers and our design team, and the next you could be forging a partnership with a growing global network of CPOs and eMSPs. If you’re excited about helping our customers translate acronyms to action and reduce their carbon footprint, this role is for you.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
• You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
• You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.
