Strategy and Analytics Manager

About the role:

The Data & Analytics team provides business critical insights using analytics and acts as a strategic thought partner for several stakeholders throughout the organization. Our team promotes an agile, collaborative, supportive environment where diverse thinking, innovative design, and experimentation is welcomed and encouraged.

As a Strategy and Analytics Manager, you will help answer important and ambiguous strategic questions. We are looking for someone who is analytical and creative as well as a leader and collaborator. You’ll collaborate on challenging projects with diverse thinkers of various backgrounds and skill sets, all working together to deliver extraordinary outcomes. 

You should apply if:

• You want to make a difference: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, 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 want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by the best and brightest professionals out there.

This may not be the right role for you if:

• You aren’t willing to put in the work: The opportunity 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 have nothing more to learn: Every Samsarian has a growth mindset and believes that what got us here won’t get us there.
• You aren’t a team player: Motivated by our mission, we’re all racing toward our connected operations vision, and we intend to win—together.
