Responsibilities
Create and execute the strategy for how we define, collect, and leverage data from vehicles (spanning light/heavy duty, ICE/electric, etc) used in our customer fleets globally. This also includes finding opportunities to monetize and innovate on top of this data, as well as being proactive in looking at where the vehicle market is going and how Samsara can leverage regulatory and competitive tailwinds
Drive our Telematics Platform strategy and execution, ensuring we maintain a high quality set of services and APIs used both internally and externally. These are the bedrock of much of Samsara’s functionality
Work closely with our OEM Integrations and Partnerships teams to holistically support the ingestion of vehicle system data, including when it is being provided through OEM cloud APIs rather than Samsara’s own vehicle gateways
Collaborate with our Data Science team to define and provide ongoing visibility into our diagnostics coverage and quality. Use data to focus on key gaps to close and how to invest the team’s resources wisely in supporting existing and future customer fleets
Drive insights that can be surfaced both internally and to customers, including support for predictive maintenance and other use cases that combine vehicle data and ML
Partner closely with our Engineering team (both firmware and full-stack) to ensure your team’s releases maintain high quality and high uptime/connectivity in the field, supporting the feature requirements of both the Telematics product area and dependencies from other product groups
Lead quarterly and annual R&D planning cadences for your teams. This includes managing a robust “intake” process to understand vehicle platform needs across our product lines and factoring those into your priorities
Collaborate & communicate across product line leadership to share your roadmap, evangelize your priorities, and help advance product-focused initiatives
Partner with customer-facing teams to close strategic accounts, resolve escalations, and maintain relationships with top customers
Hire, develop and lead an inclusive, engaged, and high performing team of PMs
Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on customer success, build for the long-term, adopt a growth mindset, be inclusive, and win as a team) as we scale globally
