About the role:

The Samsara Security team is looking for an Enterprise Security Technical Program Manager (TPM) to help drive key strategic initiatives across Samsara’s Security organization.  As part of Samsara’s rapidly expanding Enterprise Security organization, you will support key strategic priorities and drive cross-functional initiatives. You will partner closely with a diverse set of teams—including Product Security, Platform Security and Compliance, Detection and Response, Biztech, and Engineering—to execute on critical security goals. On a given day, you'll help build and refine processes that scale efficiently as the team grows, often leveraging AI tools to streamline workflows, while partnering with stakeholders to scope requirements, identify risks, and communicate progress clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.

This role is open to candidates residing in the US except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area.

• 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.

In this role, you will: 

• Provide technical project and program management for highly impactful, cross-functional Security projects. You will be embedded with our Enterprise Security team to support multiple projects and report progress on planned execution.
• Provide operational support to engineering leads to ensure smooth, on time delivery of projects and key initiatives.
• Work closely with stakeholders to ensure cross functional projects are scoped and delivered on time.
• Communicate current status of enterprise security and compliance initiatives;
• Support teams and individuals in planning and executing roadmaps, releases, and work backlogs.
• Assist with  security audit efforts to reduce risk and satisfy compliance frameworks.
• Assist with improvement of measurable KPIs and surrounding processes for the Security team.
• Incorporate new AI technologies and ways of working to help scale processes and visibility.
• Help establish a strong culture for program management at Samsara by developing and contributing to a community of practice.  
• 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:

• 1-3 years Project or Program Management in a fast paced, technical company.
• Experience with managing priorities across multiple teams, building processes, and coordinating tight schedules.
