• Develop dashboards and analyses to surface business-critical KPIs and assess sales and marketing performance.
• Perform ad-hoc reporting and deep dives to uncover key insights across programs and initiatives to inform strategy and decision making.
• Partner with marketing stakeholders to translate complex business requirements into scalable data models and analytics-ready datasets.
• 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

• Bachelor's in Statistics, Computer Science, Business, Economics or other related analytical fields.
• 5+ years of relevant analytics, business intelligence, artificial intelligence or data engineering work experience.
• Expert in SQL, python, DBT and visualization platforms (Tableau preferred).
• Hands-on experience working with Databricks (or similar lakehouse architectures) to transform and model large datasets.
• Experience building data backends, semantic layers, and structured documentation optimized for AI ingestion and agentic workflows.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with experience in data analysis.
• Comfortable leveraging AI tools to accelerate data transformation, analysis, and visualization workflows.
