[Hiring] Senior Manager, Revenue Accounting @Samsara

Role Description

Samsara’s Revenue Accounting team owns how revenue is recognized, reported, and controlled for Samsara’s Connected Operations Platform. As our Revenue Accounting Manager, you will lead the contract review process that turns complex, non-standard customer agreements into defensible ASC 606 conclusions, and ensure deliverables are accurate, automated, and audit-ready. This is a high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of Accounting, Sales, Legal, and Deal Desk — you will help shape deals before they are signed, not just account for them afterward.

You will report to the Director of Revenue Accounting, partnering daily with Deal Desk, Legal, Sales, Revenue Operations, and our external auditors. The work balances technical depth — ASC 606 judgment on novel deal structures — with operational leverage: automating the manual work out of our close and our controls.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US except Alaska, Austin Metro, Boulder Metro, California, Chicago Metro, Connecticut, Dallas Metro, Denver Metro, Houston Metro, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Seattle Metro, and Washington, D.C.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including revenue recognition under ASC 606 at a public company, a high-growth technology company, or in public accounting.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Experience reviewing customer contracts and documenting technical revenue recognition positions in written accounting memos.
• Experience improving or automating accounting processes and controls, including hands-on work in an ERP or revenue subledger (for example NetSuite, Zuora, or RevPro).
• Experience owning SOX controls and supporting internal and external audits.
• Experience leading, managing, or mentoring accountants.

Requirements

• Active CPA license, or CPA eligibility.
• Big 4 or national public accounting experience, with technical revenue or SEC reporting exposure.
• Experience in a hardware-plus-software or SaaS business with multi-element arrangements spanning devices, subscriptions, and professional services.
• Experience partnering with Deal Desk, Legal, and Sales on deal structuring and non-standard commercial terms.
• Experience implementing or upgrading a revenue automation or contract lifecycle tool, or leading a revenue system migration.
• A track record of writing accounting positions on novel deal structures that were adopted as company policy.
• Experience applying AI or analytics tooling to reduce manual accounting work and strengthen controls.
• Strong written communication — able to make a technical conclusion legible to non-accountants in Sales, Legal, and leadership.

Benefits

• Annual Base Salary: $107,240 — $153,200 USD.
• Compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles).
• Flexible, employee-led remote model.
• Professional development stipend.
• Comprehensive health and parental leave plans.
