Senior Supply Planning Manager - US

Samsara is hiring a Senior Supply Planner to oversee the hardware supply planning process for the global market. The Senior Supply Planner will be responsible for developing and maintaining rolling 12-month production, shipment, and capacity plans; working with Demand Planning, Global Ops Engineering, Production Procurement, Order Operations, and Finance; and calculating the implications on financial liabilities and inventory levels.

Responsibilities:

• Convert the demand plan into supply plans and targets by SKU, region, and DC, aligned to revenue and cost objectives.
• Drive capacity planning with Global Ops Engineering: maintain rolling 12-month production and capacity plans and recommend tradeoffs when capacity or components are constrained.
• Influence Clear to Build (CTB) for your portfolio: work with Production Procurement to confirm components and materials are available, and flag shortages early.
• Publish supply targets to factories and VMI partners and track commits, ETDs, and landed supply against them.
• Monitor weekly coverage across the full forward quarter to catch risk before it becomes shortage or excess, running simulations as needed to capture real-time supply chain changes.
• Resolve risk with the right lever (rebalancing, transfers, air upgrades) alongside Order Operations and Production Procurement.
• Partner with Demand Planning, NPI, and Finance Analysis on demand changes, new product ramps, transitions, and end-of-sale.
• Plan VMI, ROP accessory, and refurbished supply while minimizing excess and obsolete material.
• Report performance to targets and communicate supply risks to Operations leadership.
• Evolve processes and tooling, using data and AI-assisted tools to remove manual work.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's operating principles as we scale globally.

Requirements:

• Degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance, or Economics.
• 6+ years (or 4+ with a Master's) of combined experience in consulting and supply chain planning, supply planning, material planning, or inventory management.
• Experience building supply plans against factory capacity and component constraints, including capacity planning and Clear to Build (component and material availability).
• Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to clearly lay out assumptions, risks, and opportunities in logical models.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to synthesize information for a wide variety of stakeholders, from planners and factory contacts to executives.
• Attention to detail while never losing sight of the big picture.
• A proactive, positive approach to problem solving, and comfort with ambiguity, changing priorities, and business volatility.
• Working knowledge of ERP and planning systems (for example NetSuite and E2Open), Salesforce, and spreadsheet-based modeling.

Nice to Have:

• MBA or Master's degree in a related field.
• Programming and data skills (SQL, Python) and experience with BI tools such as Databricks or Tableau.
• Electronics or hardware manufacturing experience, ideally working with contract manufacturers or JDMs.
• Experience with vendor-managed inventory, third-party logistics, or global multi-DC networks.
• Experience with new product introductions, product transitions, and end-of-life planning.
• Experience using AI-assisted tools to improve planning workflows.

Compensation:

• Annual Base Salary: $90,440-$121,600 USD

Benefits:

• Flexible working model
• Professional development stipend
• Comprehensive health and parental leave plans
