Who we are
<a href="https://jobicy.com/company/samsara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsara</a> (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.
The Associate Creative Director will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing the visual and creative direction of the digital experience for a leading global B2B SaaS company. This role requires a blend of strategic thinking, hands-on design expertise, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality creative assets that resonate with both business clients and internal stakeholders. This role also plays a key part in reimagining what our web and digital experiences can be in an AI-first world — moving beyond conventional page-building toward more interactive, memorable digital experiences for our customers.
This is a remote role open to candidates based in the US.
You should apply if:
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.</li>
</ul>
In this role, you will:
<ul>
<li>Lead the development and execution of creative concepts for digital, and multimedia marketing materials.</li>
<li>Own our tokenized digital web design system in Figma, with components mapped one-to-one to our codebase so that a single change cascades consistently across the entire site—coordinating with the Brand Creative team to ensure we show up in a consistent, evocative manner, and keeping the system structured for both designers and AI-assisted tools to build from.</li>
<li>Prototype and build directly using AI-assisted design and development tools, moving fluidly from concept toward a near-shippable experience rather than relying solely on a traditional design-to-engineering handoff.</li>
<li>Collaborate with product, marketing, and sales teams to create compelling visual narratives that align with brand strategy and business goals—including bringing an e-commerce and growth-oriented mindset to our web store, a fast-scaling, revenue-driving part of the business run more like a product than a typical marketing site.</li>
<li>Manage a team of digital designers and creative technologists, providing guidance, mentorship, and constructive feedback to ensure high standards of creative excellence.</li>
<li>Oversee the production process from ideation through to final delivery, ensuring projects meet deadlines, budgets, and quality expectations.</li>
<li>Contribute to the creation of brand guidelines and ensure consistency across all creative outputs.</li>
<li>Stay current on industry trends and emerging design tools—including AI-powered ones—integrating innovative techniques into the creative process.</li>
<li>Work closely with UX to ensure that our user insights are being delivered upon.</li>
<li>Analyze and optimize creative assets for performance across various digital channels, ensuring that designs drive engagement, conversions, and customer retention.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Hire, develop and lead an inclusive, engaged, and high performing team.</li>
</ul>
Minimum requirements for the role:
<ul>
<li>8+ years of experience in a creative role with 2+ years of experience as a direct people manager within a B2B SaaS or high-tech environment.</li>
<li>Expertise in design software such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects).</li>
<li>Experience and curiosity around AI models and tools for how they augment design workflows and condense time between design and development.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience working within a componentized or tokenized design system in Figma, ideally one connected to a live codebase.</li>
<li>Genuine, hands-on fluency with AI-assisted design or prototyping tools—you don't need to be a deep technologist, but you should already be building with these tools as part of your process, not just aware of them.</li>
<li>Strong understanding of brand strategy, UX/UI design principles, and digital marketing best practices.</li>
<li>Ability to translate user insights into compelling digital experiences.</li>
<li>Familiarity with tools like Google Analytics, heatmaps, or A/B testing to understand how creative assets perform and optimize them accordingly.</li>
<li>Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which can be helpful for collaborating with developers and understanding web-based project requirements.</li>
<li>Proven track record of managing cross-functional projects, collaborating with various teams, and delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines.</li>
<li>Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate creative concepts to non-design stakeholders.</li>
<li>A portfolio showcasing a range of creative work, including B2B marketing campaigns, digital experiences, and branding projects.</li>
</ul>
An ideal candidate also has:
<ul>
<li>Experience designing for or partnering closely with an e-commerce or product-led-growth (PLG) motion, in addition to traditional marketing/brand work.</li>
<li>In-house experience at a fast-scaling company, in addition to or instead of agency experience.</li>
<li>Experience preparing or structuring a design system so it can be consumed by AI or MCP-based tooling, or tying a design system directly to a live codebase.</li>
<li>Proficiency in motion design tools like After Effects or Premiere Pro for creating dynamic content, video assets, and animations that complement creative campaigns.</li>
<li>Experience with 3D design software like Cinema 4D or Blender, adding depth and sophistication to projects.</li>
</ul>

You will define and evolve the motion design language that brings clarity, coherence, and delight to Pinterest across surfaces and flagship features. This is a hands-on, horizontal role for a rare blend of motion craft leader, systems thinker, and design technologist. You will establish reusable motion principles, patterns, tokens, and implementation guidance within the design system; partner directly with product and engineering teams to solve challenging interaction problems; and build tools and prototypes that make it easier to explore and ship exceptional motion at scale. Your impact will extend from the details of a single interaction to the cohesive experience of Pinterest as a whole.
<h3>What you’ll do</h3>
<ul>
<li>Define and evolve Pinterest’s motion design language – principles, interaction and transition patterns, timing and tokens, specifications, and guidance –&nbsp;so motion is intentional, coherent, accessible, and reusable across the product ecosystem.</li>
<li>Lead motion direction for flagship and AI-forward experiences, using motion to clarify state, cause and effect, hierarchy, feedback, progress, and system responsiveness.</li>
<li>Partner horizontally with product designers, engineers, product managers, researchers, and content designers to connect individual feature work to a shared motion strategy and raise the quality of shipped experiences.</li>
<li>Turn high-craft explorations into scalable design system contributions that reduce ad hoc implementation, improve consistency, and enable teams to move faster with confidence.</li>
<li>Rapidly prototype and validate motion ideas using the right medium – motion studies, design tools, code, AI-enabled tools, or custom prototypes – to create shared understanding and accelerate decisions.</li>
<li>Work closely with engineering throughout implementation to solve technically ambitious animation challenges while balancing performance, platform conventions, accessibility, and maintainability.</li>
<li>Develop or enable lightweight tools, templates, and workflows that help designers explore visual and motion ideas quickly and help engineering teams build sophisticated animations reliably.</li>
<li>Stay at the leading edge of AI-enabled motion and visual-creation tools, applying them strategically to improve ideation, prototyping, and production while maintaining critical thinking, quality validation, and ownership of final outcomes.</li>
<li>Conduct motion quality reviews, give actionable feedback on designs and implementations, and mentor designers in motion principles, systems thinking, prototype craft, and productive engineering partnership.</li>
<li>Clearly articulate the rationale, tradeoffs, and user impact behind motion decisions to teams, leaders, and executives; build alignment around a high bar for motion craft and system quality.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>What we’re looking for</h3>
<ul>
<li>Minimum 8 years of experience in motion design, product design, interaction design, or a closely related discipline, with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional motion craft in shipped digital products or platforms.</li>
<li>A staff/principal-level track record of influencing horizontally across teams, shaping a product or design-system direction, and raising quality without relying on formal authority.</li>
<li>Deep command of motion and interaction design principles, including timing, choreography, easing, spring behavior, feedback, and transitions – and strong judgment about when motion improves usability, comprehension, emotion, and trust.</li>
<li>Experience creating or materially evolving scalable motion systems, such as principles, token sets, pattern libraries, documentation, tooling, and governance that teams can adopt across products and platforms.</li>
<li>Demonstrated experience partnering closely with engineers to implement complex motion; practical fluency in performance, technical constraints, platform conventions, handoff, and quality assurance.</li>
<li>A design technologist mindset: comfortable using prototyping tools, AI, and code or technical workflows where useful to explore ideas, communicate intent, and improve how teams design and build.</li>
<li>Strong product and systems thinking: able to connect craft decisions to user needs, product strategy, accessibility, implementation efficiency, and measurable impact.</li>
<li>Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to synthesize ambiguity, create clear documentation, facilitate constructive critique, and align diverse cross-functional partners.</li>
<li>A collaborative, low-ego working style with a passion for learning, experimentation, mentoring, and inclusive design. You consider reduced-motion preferences, cognitive load, and diverse user needs from the beginning of the design process.</li>
<li>Bachelor’s degree in design, animation, human-computer interaction, a related field, or equivalent experience.</li>
</ul>
 
Bonus Points For
<ul>
<li>Experience defining motion for AI, conversational, multimodal, or other emerging product experiences.</li>
<li>Experience contributing to platform-wide design systems, public motion systems, or open-source animation libraries.</li>
<li>Experience building designer-facing or engineer-facing tools that improve motion prototyping, handoff, or implementation quality.</li>
<li>Experience in large-scale consumer products, personalization, or rapid experimentation environments.</li>
</ul>
Join us to define the motion language that makes Pinterest’s next generation of products feel clear, capable, and unmistakably Pinterest—raising the bar for craft, trust, and coherence for millions of Pinners.
