Principal Product Manager, Monetization Platform

About the role:

This is a defining opportunity for a Senior Product Manager to build the platform that brings every new Samsara product to market.

Samsara is launching a generation of products that do not price like traditional software: AI agents billed on usage, and products billed on the outcomes they deliver. Before a customer can buy any of them, each one has to be packaged, metered, rated, entitled, and invoiced. Today that work gets rebuilt product by product. You will make it a platform.

You will own two numbers: time to market, measured from beta to general availability, and margin on the products you help launch. Margin belongs in this role because consumption products carry unit costs that licensed software does not. Pricing one profitably means knowing what it costs to serve, per customer and per unit of usage, and putting that number in front of the people making the pricing decision.

You will build the monetization primitives every product team depends on, and you will shape what Samsara charges for and how it bundles.

You will work across the full product suite, from fleet and equipment to the AI products built on top of them.

To understand the range of products this platform supports, review Samsara Intelligence here, our product portfolio here, and our current plans and packaging here.

This a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.

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:

• Own the monetization platform that carries a product from beta to general availability: packaging, entitlements, metering, rating, and provisioning.
• Own time to market and margin. Set the targets, instrument both, and improve them launch over launch.
• Define how Samsara prices consumption and outcomes, including agent usage, MCP and API access, and products billed on the results they produce.
• Make unit economics visible at the point of decision, so a team can see what a product costs to serve before they set its price.
• Build each primitive once, so product teams ship commercial changes without reinventing metering or entitlement logic.
• Partner with Finance, Sales Operations, and Revenue Systems to keep what you build billable, reportable, and auditable.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles as we scale globally.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 7+ years of product management experience shipping products used by external customers.
• A record of owning a business or product metric and changing its trajectory, with a before and after you can walk us through.
• Experience building platform or infrastructure products that other product and engineering teams depend on, including at least one you took from zero to one.
• Technical depth sufficient for engineers to treat you as a peer: a degree in Computer Science or Engineering, prior experience as an engineer, or demonstrated fluency in system architecture trade-offs.
• Comfort with unit economics. You can reason about cost to serve, gross margin, and how a pricing model moves both.
• Executive-level communication and presence, comfortable presenting and defending strategy to the CEO, CFO, and customers.
• Based in a North American time zone. Must be able to work NA Eastern Time to work with engineers based in Europe.

We do not require prior experience with pricing, billing, or revenue systems. We hire for technical depth, evidence of building platforms other teams choose to adopt, and a record of owning a number and moving it.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience with usage-based or consumption pricing in any industry.
• Prior work on entitlement, metering, or billing infrastructure.
• Experience launching AI products where inference cost materially affects gross margin.
• A track record of convincing other product teams to adopt a platform instead of building their own.
