Sr. Manager, Recruiting Operations
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, and Equipment Monitoring. 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 Recruiting Operations team runs the engine behind every hire, from the moment a req opens to the day an offer is signed. We're looking for a Senior Manager to own that engine end to end: leading our Recruiting Coordination Manager and two Recruiting Operations Managers, and driving the AI-powered transformation that will make hiring at Samsara faster and sharper for years to come.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.

- 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.

- Lead the function through a Recruiting Coordination Manager and two Recruiting Operations Managers, building each of their capability to run their part of the system while you focus on strategy and escalations
- Lead Samsara through a major recruiting technology transformation over the next year: use AI to rebuild how the team works, not just automate a step, and own the change management that makes it stick
- Refine the operating model for recruiting operations, elevating team delivery while automation and AI take over manual administrative tasks
- Use data and insights to set goals, track progress, and influence decisions, partnering with recruiting and business executive leadership so strategy, tooling, and reporting support the broader talent roadmap
