Sr. Product Marketing Manager - Release Marketing & PMM Operations

About the Role

Samsara is seeking a Sr. Product Marketing Manager — Release Marketing & Operations to build and run the operational foundation that powers our Product Marketing team. This is a unique role at the intersection of marketing craft and operational excellence — you will own the systems, processes, and programs that help PMMs do their best work at scale.

Your most visible and highest-impact ownership will be release marketing: you will drive how Samsara plans, aligns on, and communicates product innovation internally and to the market. You will be the connective tissue across PMO, R&D, Product, PMM, Sales, and Marketing leadership — keeping the launch calendar moving, the messaging coherent, and the organization aligned. You’ll also be at the forefront of envisioning how we evolve our launch approach to maximize impact.

Beyond launch execution, you will also build the operational infrastructure that makes a world-class PMM team hum. This will range from standing up processes to crafting QBR materials to continuously improving how the team works.

This role is a rare combination: it requires someone who can run a rigorous cross-functional process, dream up ways to re-envision approaches, and has strong marketing instincts.

This is a remote position open to candidates based in the US.

You should apply if

•

You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will help Samsara communicate innovations that digitize large sectors of the global economy — from improving fleet safety to reducing emissions.

•

You are a builder: You do not just execute existing playbooks — you design new ones. You thrive when given a blank canvas and a clear outcome.

Drive Cross-Functional Alignment: Run alignment sessions across Product, GTM, and Marketing leadership — owning the materials, driving to clear decisions, and tracking open items such as naming through to resolution.

•

Coordinate Execution Across Tiers: Own the marketing planning and coordination meetings that keep launches on track. Partner with Demand Gen, Enablement, and Marketing leads to optimize timing, reduce messaging overlap, and amplify impact.

•

Measure Launch Effectiveness: Track program-level metrics including comms engagement, sentiment, and product adoption. Provide regular reporting to PMM leadership and surface insights that inform future strategy.

•

Evolve the Launch Playbook: Maintain a prioritized backlog of process gaps, convene cross-functional working groups to address root causes, and lead ongoing research into how Samsara's launch approach should evolve — especially by leveraging AI.

Experience: 5+ years in Product Marketing, Release Marketing, Product Ops or related role
