Sr. Manager, Global Supply at Samsara · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As Senior Manager, Global Supply Manager, you will own strategic sourcing, supplier relationships, and cost management for a portfolio of Samsara's hardware direct materials across the end-to-end product lifecycle. You will run commercial negotiations, build dual-source and supply-continuity strategies, drive should-cost and cost-down programs, and partner deeply with Engineering and Product on New Product Introduction (NPI) so we hit cost, quality, and supply targets ahead of ramp. You will report to the Head of Production Procurement, and collaborate daily with Engineering, Product, Finance, and Planning to turn supply strategy into measurable business impact.
This is a high-ownership role in a hyper-growth environment. You will manage a set of commodities directly, mentor analysts and supply managers on the team, and represent Samsara with our most strategic suppliers and contract manufacturers globally, including regular engagement with partners in Asia. You’ll also help modernize how we buy — shaping the requirements for AI in procurement, deploying analytics that sharpen sourcing decisions, and coaching the team to make these tools part of how they work every day.
Beyond the role itself, you’ll be joining Samsara at a pivotal moment. We operate at global scale, supporting customers across North America, Europe, and beyond as they digitize the physical operations that keep our world running — the trucks, fleets, equipment, and worksites behind more than 40% of global GDP. This is the vast, largely untapped world of physical operations, and Samsara is the platform defining its future. You’ll do it alongside a world-class team of operators, builders, and problem-solvers who set an exceptionally high bar, invest deeply in one another’s growth, and win together as we build an enduring, category-defining company.
This role is 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 keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and 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've built a culture that encourages rapid career development and countless opportunities to master your craft in a hyper-growth environment.
You're energized by our opportunity: Digitizing large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best thinking to bring creative, ambitious ideas to our customers.
You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together, and support each other. You'll be surrounded by a high-caliber team that pushes you to do your best.
Own end-to-end strategic sourcing for an assigned portfolio of direct-material commodities (e.g., cables/connectors/harnesses, PCBs, PCBA, sensors and optics, batteries, memory, SoC/storage), including supplier selection, RFQ, award, and ongoing commercial management.
Lead commercial negotiations — price, tooling/NRE, manufacturing value-add (MVA), payment terms, and Master Purchase Agreements (MPAs) — and defend Samsara's position on cost pass-throughs, should-cost, and inflation.
Build and execute supply-continuity strategies: dual-sourcing, qualification of alternate sources and raw materials, strategic buffer/inventory plans, and risk mitigation for sole-sourced or EOL parts.
