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.

About the role:

As an Associate on the Investor Relations and Corporate Development teams, you will work closely to position Samsara to investors, analysts and start-ups in our ecosystem. You will play a key role in collecting and analyzing information that will inform our narrative, managing investor and analyst relationships, building investor targeting strategies, and managing various investor events. You will also play a crucial role in shaping our inorganic strategy and driving our global corporate development efforts across M&A and investments through our corporate venture capital (CVC) arm Samsara Ventures.

In this role, you will: 

  • Collect and analyze information (business and financial) that will inform our narrative to investors and analysts.
  • Support all aspects of the corporate development M&A and investment deal processes, including sourcing, qualification, financial analyses and modeling, due diligence, and closing and integration planning activities.
  • Collaborate with Strategic Finance, FP&A, Legal, Comms, and Marketing to gather information related to quarterly financial performance and ensure accuracy of figures and alignment of external messaging.
  • Monitor and internally summarize industry trends and peers’ commentary and financial results by continuously tracking sell-side research, financial news, and transcripts.
  • Establish a robust understanding of industry trends, market participants, and competitive dynamics in the physical operations and the broader enterprise software markets.
  • 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.

Minimum requirements for the role:

  • 1+ years of experience in investment banking, equity research, or strategic finance
  • Strong familiarity with financial modeling and valuation
  • Bias-to-action and hands-on experience delivering business results. You’re eager to roll your sleeves up and make an impact
