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.

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.
