Who we are
Samsara (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.
About the role:
The Select Major Account sales team are responsible for revenue growth in the
new and existing customers that represent the largest prospective Enterprise
accounts for Samsara by total addressable opportunity. You should be an
energetic evangelist and passionate about introducing a transformative new
technology into the market. You should have a history of over-achievement and be
comfortable selling into all levels of an Enterprise organisation, including

customers are often out in the field and the best way to catch them is live
on the phone. Samsara’s top reps do constant research to find companies and

• You have innate curiosity in 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 are a life-long learner: Samsara sales are complex.
You will need to
learn about businesses where you previously had little knowledge. The payoff
is big but you have to be willing to put in the work.
• 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 Sales culture means
you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have
before.
In this role, you will:
• Develop Executive-Level relationships within strategic, named accounts
