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, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. 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:

As a Strategic AE you will be helping large mid-market and enterprise sized customers consolidate outdated technologies, digitize workflows, and unlock game-changing data insights that will transform their businesses. We are helping the companies that literally keep our lights on, put food on our tables, and build our communities to become safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. Typical sales will be $100k to $500k, and typically involve POCs, multiple stakeholders, managing trials, multi-faceted pricing negotiations, and selling to executives and CXOs.

This is a remote position open to candidates based in United Kingdom. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.

You should apply if: 

  • 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.
  • Your mantra is #alwaysbeprospecting: The world of operations is vast. Your 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 contacts to expand their pipeline.

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
  • Own customer engagements end-to-end, from prospecting and qualification to close
  • Demonstrate excellent solution-based sales process in complex sales campaigns
  • 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:

  • 5+ years experience in a full-cycle, closing sales role
  • Proven expertise winning new business logos through a repeatable sales motion
  • Demonstrable expertise in strategic outbound prospecting, particularly via inside sales
  • Proven track record of consistent quota over-achievement in Enterprise level accounts, winning multiple $100k+ ARR transactions
  • Experience handling enterprise deal sizes with multiple stakeholders at C-Level
  • Value based selling approach
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, with demonstrated ability thriving in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Working remotely in UK, however comfortable traveling to meet customers as needed

An ideal candidate also has:

  • SaaS sales experience
  • Experience working with line of business stakeholders (Operations, Finance, IT)
  • Comfortable in a dynamic, customer facing environment
  • MEDDIC experience
  • Excited about solving new problems in innovative ways
  • Highly collaborative with a growth mindset. 
  • Awards for top achievement (President’s club, Winner’s circle, Top 10%)
  • Passion for the world of operations!
