- Partner with our legal and compliance teams to strategically prioritize compliance certifications and customer-facing security programs.
- Identify technology trends that create new threats and risks for cloud software.
- Collaborate with Engineering to drive the team’s quarterly release plans and long-term roadmap.
- Communicate across product line leadership to share your roadmap, evangelize your priorities, and seek out areas of joint innovation.
- Partner with customer-facing teams to close strategic accounts, resolve escalations, and maintain relationships with top customers.
- 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) as we scale globally and across new offices.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 5+ years of job experience, in relevant product, technical, and/or business roles.
