Operations
Who we are
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.
Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.
About the role:
You will own the end-to-end Procure-to-Pay (P2P) function, spanning Procurement Operations, Accounts Payable, supplier onboarding, and payments. You will set the governance model and service standards, partner with executive stakeholders, and build a team that delivers consistently.
In this role, you will:
• Own end-to-end P2P performance, from requisition and PO through receipt, invoice, approval, payment, and accrual, and align every tower (Procurement, AP, Supplier Management, Payments, Close) to one operating model
• Establish and enforce operational governance: policies, controls, SLAs/KPIs, approval matrices, and audit readiness (SOX), with regular performance reviews
• Ensure accurate, timely processing of requisitions, POs, and invoices, and the completeness of accruals and liability reconciliations for the financial close
• Design supplier onboarding and master-data standards, with attention to risk, compliance, and payment integrity
• Own payment-run integrity, including approval controls, banking batch oversight, and fraud and duplicate-payment prevention
• Resolve escalated payment and process issues, and use root-cause research to prevent repeat issues
• Partner with suppliers, Procurement, Finance, Legal, IT, and business stakeholders to define and deliver the automation and transformation roadmap
• Report on P2P performance using defined KPIs (touchless invoice rate, on-time payment, cycle time, exception rate, DPO) and optimize working capital through payment terms and early-pay discounts
• Oversee supplier risk, contract and PO compliance, and spend visibility across the vendor base
• Manage change by rolling out policy, process, and system updates with clear stakeholder communication and adoption tracking
• Elevate customer satisfaction across internal stakeholders and suppliers by owning the service experience, measuring CSAT/NPS, and acting on feedback
• Deliver quarterly business reviews with senior and executive stakeholders, presenting performance, risks, and the improvement roadmap
• Hire, develop, and coach a high-performing team, and hold every team member to a consistent standard through documented processes, training, performance calibration, and clear accountability
• Build the training, onboarding, and succession plans that keep team capability uniform across locations
• Model and embed Samsara’s values as the team scales globally
Minimum requirements for the role:
• 10+ years in procure-to-pay, AP, or procurement operations, including 5+ years managing teams and managers
• Demonstrated end-to-end P2P expertise across multiple towers, with the ability to align cross-functional dependencies
• Track record of running operational governance: SLAs, KPIs, internal controls, and audit/SOX compliance
• Experience owning a team budget, managing vendor relationships, and managing remote, cross-time-zone teams
• Experience developing and presenting executive-level QBRs and improving stakeholder satisfaction
• Proven ability to develop, train, and calibrate teams to a uniform standard
• ERP experience (NetSuite preferred) plus a P2P platform such as Zip, Coupa, or Ariba
• Bachelor’s in accounting, finance, business, or supply chain
• Preferred: APM, CPSM, CPA, or equivalent
An ideal candidate also has:
• The ability to solve complex problems with simple solutions
• A history of being a collaborator, strategic thinker, and influencer
• Experience scaling P2P operations in a high-growth, multi-entity, and multi-currency environment
• Lean Six Sigma or similar process-improvement credentials, with automation and AI experience
