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:

This role will be a key leader within Samsara’s Global Partnerships team, responsible for our ecosystem of network partners.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Every phone call you answer and every email you send can affect whether truck drivers deliver goods on time and without accidents, whether students get dropped off safely from school, or whether power gets restored quickly after a natural disaster.

• You thrive the most when solving problems: Our constantly expanding technology and the complexities faced by our customers provide an exciting range of challenges for our Customer Success teams. With a growth mindset and a desire to learn, you will strategically partner with our customers to find unique solutions to help keep their operations safe, efficient, and sustainable.

• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. This Customer Success team is still shaping its future and you will have plenty of autonomy and opportunities to master your craft in a hyper growth environment.

• You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by the best and brightest professionals out there.

In this role, you will:

• Drive “Network Level” strategy: Build our playbook for how we effectively partner with networks and develop relationships with key partners.

• Influence and activate individual members within these networks by leveraging top-down relationships to drive adoption.

• Orchestrate Ecosystem Activation: Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to design and execute GTM motions that drive incremental revenue and customer success across partner portfolios.

• Develop scalable programs that allow Samsara to serve these networks in a coordinated fashion.

• Champion Samsara’s cultural principles, including Focus on Customer Success and Winning as a Team, as we build this motion.

• Track record of architecting multi-layered partnership motions that deliver pipeline and accelerate commercial outcomes.

• Ability to orchestrate complex, multi-vendor, and multi-stakeholder deals that involve both corporate-level decision-makers and individual members / businesses.

• A builder mentality—the ability to create structure and process as we define this "Network" motion.

• Exceptional cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to align diverse internal and external stakeholders toward a common goal.
