Job description
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:
We are seeking a results-driven professional passionate about the seamless execution of supply chain operations. In this high-impact role, you will bridge the gap between our US operations and our Taiwan-based Supply Chain team. By collaborating with Material Management, Global Operational Engineering, WW Planning, and VMI partners, you will play a critical role in hitting supply targets and revenue goals. As a key US-based resource, you will ensure 24-hour continuity and provide essential SCM support during US business hours.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the Western or Central United States (Pacific, Mountain, and Central Time Zones), capable of working hours adapted to the US daytime with a necessary overlap with the Taiwan team's early morning hours. This position requires travel up to 10% of the time.
Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
This role is open to candidates residing in the US except Alaska, Austin Metro, Boulder Metro, California, Chicago Metro, Connecticut, Dallas Metro, Denver Metro, Houston Metro, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Seattle Metro, and Washington, D.C.

In this role, you will:
- Global Continuity & US Coverage: Serve as the primary US-based SCM representative to ensure seamless, 24-hour operational continuity, specializing in Inbound Supply, VMI operations, and HEM supply management.
- End-to-End Supply Execution: Oversee inbound supply chain operations, including forecast releases, PR/PO processing, and logistics coordination, ensuring all shipments meet rigorous timeframes and revenue targets.
- Production & Material Optimization: Provide critical insights into production capacity and material visibility while driving BOM ordering elasticity and MRD reporting to optimize supply with JDM partners.
- Cross-Functional Bridge: cross-view the implementation of ECO changes and collaborate with suppliers and internal teams to resolve production gaps and alleviate supply constraints through proactive technical coordination.
- Executive Communication: fluent communication and professional presentation skills to influence executive-level stakeholders.
- 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:
- Supply Chain & Fulfillment Expertise: 6+ years of experience in supply chain execution, including direct supplier management, material/manufacturing capacity planning, and refurbishment. Proficient in managing CTB (Clear to Build) reports, OPO backlog tracking, and material shortage mitigation.
- Operational Systems & Technical Literacy: Strong working knowledge of ERP, PLM, and ASCP systems. Familiarity with hardware-specific processes like BOM management, Costing, and ECO is highly valued.
- Strategic Reporting & Analysis: Proven ability to consolidate supply elasticity data and deliver high-level analytics to Executive leadership. Capable of translating complex task simulations into actionable solutions and formal presentations.
- Cross-Functional collaboration: Exceptional communication skills with a track record of interacting cross-functional teams. Demonstrated ability to implement programs across diverse stakeholder groups and sponsor new process establishments.
- Agile Project Management: Highly organized with a "passion for risk mitigation" and number sensitivity. Able to prioritize and delegate effectively within high-paced, high-growth environments to ensure program schedules are met.
An ideal candidate also has:
