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 is looking for a Senior Manager, Finance and Strategy, to partner with our Research & Development (R&D) organization. Samsara's R&D organization creates the industry-leading IoT products and features that power our customer experience. In this role, you will partner with business leaders to set and achieve corporate goals. You will drive quantitative and qualitative analysis to inform strategic judgements and identify optimization opportunities. You will support corporate financial goals by driving forecast models and providing accurate guidance to our leaders and investors. You also will lead our financial planning and analysis (FP&A) processes across Samsara's R&D organization.
This role can be office-based in our San Francisco office or fully remote.
You should apply if:
- 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.
- You're energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
- You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.
In this role, you will:
- Serve as the finance lead for Samsara's R&D organization, partnering directly with C-level leaders on budget trade-offs, headcount decisions, and infrastructure investment
- Own FP&A for R&D and Supply Chain Operations — monthly BvA reviews with VP-level leaders, quarterly reforecasts, and the annual operating plan across Software, Firmware, and Hardware Engineering, Product Management, and Supply Chain Operations
- Own forecasting and controllership across Samsara's largest cost drivers: COGS and Gross Margin, cloud and cell infrastructure, hardware costs (including cash and COGS), employee expenses, total compensation economics, and AI infrastructure spend
- Build scalable financial processes and use AI tools to automate reporting, accelerate analysis, and deliver real-time visibility to R&D leadership
- Lead, develop, and manage a high-performing team
- Hire, develop and lead an inclusive, engaged, and high performing team
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 10+ years of experience in Corporate Finance, financial planning and analysis, or strategic finance experience
- 3+ years of People management and development experience
- Strong financial modeling and analysis capabilities
- Ability to work collaboratively and cross-functionally
- Strong communication and presentation skills; comfortable presenting to senior management
An ideal candidate also has:
- Experience at a high-growth tech company
- Prior partnership with technical leaders
- Ability to lead teams and drive longer-term initiatives while balancing delivering results
- Willingness and ability to build new financial processes and mechanisms
- Ability to thrive in a fast-growing environment with high degrees of ambiguity
- Experience with AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
- Familiarity with AWS cloud cost management
- Expertise working with systems (e.g., Adaptive Planning, NetSuite, Salesforce, Workday, etc.)
- Experience working with large datasets and technical data management and analysis skills (e.g., SQL, Tableau, etc.)
Total Rewards
At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders.

We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you're ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Strategy Jobs at Samsara
Frame your background around connected operations
Samsara sits at the intersection of IoT hardware, fleet telematics, and industrial software. Strategy roles there reward candidates who can speak to physical-digital business models, so position your experience around operational scale, not just corporate finance or consulting frameworks.
Verify your status before the H-1B lottery window
If you're on F-1 OPT, the March H-1B registration window can overlap with your OPT expiration. Confirm your I-94 end date and STEM OPT eligibility early so your recruiter at Samsara can build a sponsorship timeline that doesn't leave a gap in your work authorization.
Target roles that sit inside a defined business unit
Samsara's Strategy openings range from corporate development to go-to-market strategy within specific verticals like transportation or construction. Roles embedded in a business unit tend to have clearer headcount approval and faster hiring cycles than centralized corporate strategy functions.
Ask explicitly about LCA filing before the offer stage
The Labor Condition Application that DOL requires before your H-1B can be filed takes time to certify. Confirm with your Samsara recruiter that LCA preparation begins immediately after verbal offer acceptance so certification doesn't push your start date back by weeks.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Strategy roles by visa type
Samsara posts Strategy positions across levels and teams at different times of year. Use Migrate Mate to filter listings specifically by the visa types Samsara sponsors, so you're applying to roles where your sponsorship need is already accounted for in the hiring process.
Build a case file for your specialty occupation determination
USCIS requires that H-1B roles qualify as specialty occupations. For Strategy positions, gather documentation showing the role requires a specific bachelor's degree or higher in fields like economics, business analytics, or engineering, not just any degree, to support the petition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Samsara sponsor H-1B visas for Strategys?
Yes, Samsara sponsors H-1B visas for Strategy roles. The company has a consistent pattern of supporting work visa filings across its business functions, including Strategy. If you're currently on OPT or another nonimmigrant status, it's worth raising sponsorship during the recruiter screen so both sides can align on timing before an offer is extended.
How do I apply for Strategy jobs at Samsara?
Applications go through Samsara's careers page. For international candidates who need sponsorship, Migrate Mate lets you browse Samsara's open Strategy positions filtered by visa type, so you can identify roles where your authorization needs are already expected. Tailor your application to Samsara's focus on physical operations, IoT, and fleet intelligence to stand out in the Strategy candidate pool.
Which visa types does Samsara commonly use for Strategy roles?
Samsara supports H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN visa, J-1 visa, and Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for qualifying employees. For Strategy hires, H-1B and F-1 OPT are the most common entry points. TN visas are an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying Strategy occupations, typically those classified under management consultant or economist categories.
What qualifications does Samsara expect for Strategy roles?
Samsara's Strategy roles typically require a bachelor's degree in economics, business, engineering, or a related analytical field, with an MBA or advanced degree preferred for senior positions. Experience with go-to-market strategy, market expansion, or corporate development in a high-growth technology company is valued. Familiarity with physical industries like logistics, construction, or fleet operations gives candidates a meaningful advantage given Samsara's core market.
How do I think about timing when targeting a Strategy role at Samsara with visa sponsorship?
If you're on F-1 OPT and need H-1B sponsorship, the annual lottery registration opens in March for an October 1 start date. That six-month gap matters. Samsara would need to register you in March and file your full petition by April. Starting your job search in the fall and securing an offer by early spring gives you the best window to stay continuously authorized without a gap.
