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, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. 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 looking for an energetic and highly organized A-player who thrives in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. As a key member of the Marketing team, this role will be vital in planning and leading production logistics for our annual customer conference, Beyond, and our global roadshow program, Go Beyond.

This role will also support the sourcing and coordination of entertainment and production elements for Beyond Bash, our signature evening celebration.

Success in this role requires a strong understanding of business priorities and the ability to translate them into strategic, high-impact event experiences.
