Sr. Marketing Operations Manager - Global Lead Flow
WFA Digital Insight
Samsara’s Sr. Marketing Operations Manager for Global Lead Flow sits at the crossroads of marketing, sales and data engineering, making it a rare blend of strategic architecture and hands‑on execution. The role isn’t just about moving leads; it’s about designing the ingestion, routing and enrichment logic that fuels a worldwide revenue engine. Candidates will be expected to own SLA governance across regions, continuously tweak routing rules, and translate funnel analytics into concrete improvement plans. Because Samsara is a public‑company IoT platform, the work directly impacts critical industries—from construction to transportation—so the position offers a tangible link between marketing technology and real‑world operations. Strong Salesforce fluency and a GTM mindset are non‑negotiable, and success will be measured by how quickly the funnel moves from raw lead to qualified opportunity.
Job Description
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
Join the Marketing Operations team and play a critical role in scaling Samsara's global revenue engine. As our Sr. Marketing Ops Manager for Global Lead Funnel Optimization, you will own the end-to-end lead lifecycle — from ingestion and routing through enrichment, SLA governance, and funnel performance — across all of our go-to-market regions.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role at the intersection of marketing, sales, and data. You'll work closely with Marketing, Sales, Sales Operations, and Engineering to continuously improve the systems and processes that convert marketing activity into pipeline — and you'll be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, bringing both analytical rigor and a builder's mindset to every problem you tackle.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area.
You should apply if:
- 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.
- You're energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
- You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.
In this role, you will:
- Own the global lead funnel architecture. Take end-to-end ownership of lead ingestion, routing logic, channel setup, data enrichment, and SLA governance — continuously iterating to improve speed, accuracy, and conversion.
- Drive lead-to-opportunity performance. Conduct regular analyses of funnel conversion rates across regions and segments; translate findings into prioritized improvement initiatives and lead their execution through to measurable impact.
- Build for scale, not just for today. Design and implement scalable process and systems improvements that anticipate Samsara's continued growth across markets — solving problems at the root, not the surface.
- Enable funnel visibility. Build and maintain reporting that gives marketing and sales leadership clear, reliable insight into pipeline generation performance; surface trends, anomalies, and opportunities proactively rather than reactively.
- Be the operational backbone of our GTM engine. Maintain deep, trusted working relationships across Sales, Sales Operations, Account Development, Marketing, and Engineering; serve as the go-to operational counterpart who can communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences alike.
- Leverage AI and automation to compound your impact. Build AI-powered workflows that automate repeatable lead flow tasks; integrate these into your standard operating approach and actively share what's working with the broader team.
- Bring solutions, not just problems. Identify gaps before they become escalations; frame issues clearly and arrive at cross-functional conversations with a point of view on how to fix them.
- Be a trusted partner to the teams who depend on you. Serve as a responsive, solutions-oriented resource for ADR Managers and Marketing Campaign owners — fielding questions on lead quality, performance measurement, and system behavior with an open mind and a win-as-a-team attitude; use their feedback to continuously improve what you own.
- Champion Samsara's cultural principles. Role model and embed our values (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 6+ years of experience in Marketing Operations, Sales Operations, Business Systems, Analytics, or a closely related B2B go-to-market role, with a strong emphasis on analytical problem solving and end-to-end program ownership.
- Advanced proficiency with LeanData for lead routing and Salesforce, including deep working knowledge of the Lead, Contact, Account, Campaign, Activity, and Opportunity data models.
- Strong command of funnel dynamics, measurement, and analytics — able to diagnose conversion issues, build analyses, and translate findings into clear, data-driven recommendations for senior stakeholders.
- Clear, structured communicator with strong stakeholder management skills across GTM functions (Marketing, Business Development, Sales, Customer Success, and beyond); able to make complex operational topics accessible and actionable for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Demonstrated ability to own cross-functional programs end-to-end — from problem definition through execution and measurement — with minimal direction.
- AI tools in day-to-day work — whether in-app copilot features (e.g., Salesforce Einstein) or standalone solutions like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini.
An ideal candidate is also comfortable with:
- Databricks as a consumer — writing or adapting queries, pulling data sets, and conducting ad hoc analysis.
- Tableau for building or interpreting dashboards and funnel reporting.
- Marketing automation and sales engagement platforms: Marketo, Gong
- Automation and workflow tools: Gumloop, Zapier, Clay, Airtable

- Prepare a short case study showing how you used data enrichment to boost lead quality, and be ready to walk through your methodology.
- Demonstrate familiarity with IoT or hardware‑focused GTM strategies; even a brief project description adds relevance.
- In interviews, speak to how you balance global consistency with regional flexibility in funnel design.
- Bring a portfolio of dashboards or reports you created; visual proof of analytical rigor stands out.
- When discussing compensation, research typical equity packages for senior ops roles at public tech firms and be ready to negotiate based on impact.
