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, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
You have an innate curiosity about how businesses work: One day you’ll meet with someone in waste management and the next you may be learning about the inner workings of a food distribution center. Our top sales team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support in order to make a larger impact.
You build genuine relationships with your customers: The industries we serve have relied on pen-and-paper solutions for years and haven’t been met with the type of technology we offer. Our customers value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
You want to be with the best: Samsara’s high-performance culture means you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before.
You are a team player: At Samsara, sales is a team sport. We help each other out by sharing best practices and focusing on winning as a team.
Drive GTM Strategy for Emerging Tech: Act as the primary technical authority for new products entering the Mid-Market segment, ensuring the sales motion is repeatable and scalable.

Master the "Command of the Message": Enable Account Executives (AEs) and SEs to lead with value-based discovery, helping them pivot from "features" to "strategic outcomes" for new technologies.
Scale Technical Knowledge: Create and deliver high-impact enablement content, including "Golden Demo" environments, technical whitepapers, and competitive battlecards for the MM sales tier.
