Key Responsibilities
Samsara's Core IT team builds the systems, processes, and experiences that let every team at Samsara do its best work. As a Principal Business Systems Analyst, you'll own the programs with the broadest scope and highest impact on the team. These are the ambiguous, cross-functional problems that touch multiple systems and multiple stakeholders, and that shape how Core IT operates going forward. You'll work directly with senior IT leadership and stakeholders across the business, and your frameworks and judgment will set the standard other analysts learn from.
Required Skills & Abilities
10+ years of business systems analysis, strategy, or architecture experience at a large-scale organization.
Deep expertise in requirements strategy, organizational design, systems thinking, and process optimization, with mastery of the analytical disciplines behind them: data analysis, process optimization, and requirements architecture.
A demonstrated track record advising senior leadership on complex, strategic decisions, including experience with large-scale organizational transformation or system architecture decisions.
Excellent influence skills: the ability to build trust and move decisions forward with stakeholders and teams that don't report to you, from individual contributors to executive leadership.
Strong analytical rigor and the communication skills to bring senior stakeholders along, in writing and in the room.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex, concurrent programs end-to-end, with full independent judgment on how to structure and staff them.
Strong data management and analysis skills (Google Sheets/Excel, Splunk, and similar tools).
Experience with corporate security and compliance programs: operating internal controls, preparing evidence for audits, and ensuring proper data handling in response to requests under SOX, FedRAMP, GDPR, CCPA, or similar privacy regulations.

Total Rewards
At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
Flexible Working
At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams. Our offices are open for those who prefer to work in-person and we also support remote work where it aligns with our operational requirements. For certain positions, being close to one of our offices or within a specific geographic area is important to facilitate collaboration, access to resources, or alignment with our service regions. In these cases, the job description will clearly indicate any working location requirements. Our goal is to ensure that all members of our team can contribute effectively, whether they are working on-site, in a hybrid model, or fully remotely. All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company and in the specified work location, if applicable.
