Sr. Manager, Recruiting Operations

Samsara's Recruiting Operations team runs the engine behind every hire, from the moment a req opens to the day an offer is signed. We're looking for a Senior Manager to own that engine end to end: leading our Recruiting Coordination Manager and two Recruiting Operations Managers, and driving the AI-powered transformation that will make hiring at Samsara faster and sharper for years to come.

In this role, you will:

• Own the vision and strategy for all of Recruiting Operations end to end, from req management through scheduling to offer approval
• Lead the function through a Recruiting Coordination Manager and two Recruiting Operations Managers, building each of their capability to run their part of the system while you focus on strategy and escalations
• Lead Samsara through a major recruiting technology transformation over the next year: use AI to rebuild how the team works, not just automate a step, and own the change management that makes it stick
• Refine the operating model for recruiting operations, elevating team delivery while automation and AI take over manual administrative tasks
• Use data and insights to set goals, track progress, and influence decisions, partnering with recruiting and business executive leadership so strategy, tooling, and reporting support the broader talent roadmap
• 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)

Minimum requirements for the role:

• At least 8 years of experience in recruiting operations, recruiting coordination, or a closely related recruiting or HR related role
• At least 5 of those years in a formal people-leadership role, including experience managing people-managers
• A builder's mindset with AI and automation: has tested, prototyped, or built tools or workflows themselves, and can speak concretely to what worked and what didn't
• Has led a team through a major recruiting technology transition, change management included, not just the technical rollout
• Has used data to run a recruiting operations or coordination function, and can name a specific decision that data changed
