About the Role
Samsara is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud and the way we attract talent should reflect that same category-defining ambition. As our Talent Attraction Program Manager, you'll sit at the intersection of sourcing strategy, talent partnerships, and community engagement, helping build the programs and pipelines that bring world-class, mission-aligned talent to Samsara.
This is a broad, high-impact role for someone who thrives without rigid lanes. One week you're building a proactive sourcing strategy for a hard-to-fill segment; the next you're designing an external partnership or activating a curated event into a talent pipeline. You'll work closely with recruiting leadership and execute across the full attraction ecosystem making sure every channel, program, and community touchpoint is working together toward the same goal: getting great people through the door.
In This Role, You Will
- Design and own talent attraction programs across sourcing enablement, professional community partnerships, and industry events ensuring every initiative is built for pipeline impact, not just activity
- Build for the next generation of talent attraction, not the last – stay at the forefront of AI and automation in talent attraction, continuously evaluating emerging tools, piloting new capabilities, and rebuilding workflows to eliminate manual work, scale program reach, and surface sharper insights.
- Own end-to-end planning and execution of talent-focused events, from curated recruiting events to conference activations, with a clear focus on measurable hiring outcomes
- Build and manage Samsara's presence in professional communities and industry networks, translating relationships into durable talent access for recruiting teams
- Operationalize CRM strategy across all attraction efforts ensuring silver medalists, past referrals, event contacts, community connections, and inbound leads are captured, tagged, and activated through structured nurture flows
- Define and track program performance metrics such as event ROI, outreach conversion, CRM nurture engagement and translate data into strategic recommendations
- Collaborate cross-functionally with recruiters, HR business partners, and marketing to align attraction programs to workforce priorities and ensure seamless handoffs into hiring pipelines
Minimum Qualifications
- 6–8 years of experience in recruiting program management, talent partnerships, events strategy, or a related field with a clear track record of owning programs, not just supporting them
- Proven ability to design and execute complex, multi-workstream initiatives from strategy through measurement in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
- Track record of planning and executing events or partnership programs that convert to measurable hiring outcomes
- Comfortable working with CRM platforms and using data to tell a story, drive decisions, and report on program ROI
- Strong cross-functional collaborator who can manage multiple workstreams and align stakeholders without losing focus on outcomes
- Self-starter mentality — you're energized by ambiguity and motivated by building programs that didn't exist before
