Job summary

Samsara is seeking a Principal Business Systems Analyst to own high-impact Core IT programs across multiple systems. You will define broad problem spaces, set requirements standards, and partner with IT leadership to shape organizational design and systems thinking.

You will mentor analysts, drive process improvements, and champion Samsara’s core cultural principles while operating in a flexible, remote-friendly environment across the United States.

Qualifications

• 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.
• An demonstrated track record advising senior leadership on complex, strategic decisions, including experience with large-scale organizational transformation or system architecture decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of Core IT's highest-impact projects and programs, from problem definition through implementation, across multiple systems and business domains.
• Define the problem space on the organization's most significant and ambiguous issues, rather than solving problems that are already scoped, and advise IT leadership on how to think about entire classes of problems, not just the issue in front of them.
• Build the requirements practices, frameworks, and standards that other analysts and the broader team adopt, raising the bar for how Core IT approaches requirements, process design, and systems thinking.
• Act as a trusted advisor to IT leadership and senior stakeholders across the business on organizational design, systems architecture, and process strategy.
• Manage IT's engagement with the rest of the business on the programs you own: gathering requirements, coordinating resources, planning timelines, and communicating with stakeholders.
• Drive operational excellence: develop a deep understanding of IT engineering, support, and operations (financials, services, performance metrics, SLAs, and so on) and work with IT management to provide the context that drives decision-making.
• Develop, evaluate, and refine business processes, and propose improvement strategies that scale across the organization.
• Mentor other analysts and engineers, and help them grow into the next level of scope and independence.
• 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) as we scale globally and across new offices.
