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

You help customers adopt the platform, realise measurable value, and renew and expand with confidence. You pick up where Implementation leaves off, learn each customer's fleet and challenges, and advise on tailoring Samsara to them. You manage 100+ named accounts, using AI tooling to extend your reach and focus your time where it counts. Your understanding of the value customers get earns you the right to lead the ROI conversation, negotiate terms and close renewals that work for both sides, minimising financial attrition. You work with Sales, Support, Deal Desk, Operations and Product.

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 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 team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support in order to make a larger impact.

• You thrive the most when solving problems: Our constantly expanding technology and the complexities faced by our customers provide an exciting range of challenges. 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 a natural relationship builder: Whether the relationship is with our customers or with cross-functional teams in Samsara, you are in constant communication and collaboration with key stakeholders to win as a team.

• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won't be your last at Samsara. This 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:

• Deeply understand the Samsara platform's capabilities and explain them to businesses of all types, from field services and utilities to long-haul transportation and school buses.

• Manage a portfolio of 100+ named accounts, using AI tooling to accelerate your engagement, prioritize proactively, and drive efficiency and outcomes across your book of business.

• Lead the ROI and value conversation into the renewal, negotiate favorable terms, and close renewals that are a win for both the customer and Samsara while minimizing financial attrition.

• Demonstrate a willingness to understand and explain technical issues to a non-technical audience and to engage the right cross-functional partners to drive resolution.

• Conduct workshops with customers to understand their current operations and recommend workflow changes to maximize the value of their Samsara products.

• Work cross-functionally with Sales, Support, Deal Desk, Operations and Product to strategically solve problems and optimize customer experience and business outcomes.

• 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:

• Business fluency in German (spoken and written).

• 2+ years in a customer-facing, quota-carrying role (renewals, customer success, account management or sales), ideally in SaaS, technology or logistics.

• A record of consistent quota over-achievement.

• Strong problem-solving, communication and presentation skills, and the ability to build trust with executives, users and internal teams.

• Familiarity with Salesforce, Gainsight, Gong or similar GTM tools.

• Comfort in a fast-changing, high-growth environment.

• A bachelor's degree from a 4-year institution, or equivalent practical experience.

An ideal candidate also has:

• A strong bias towards action, big-picture thinking and high standards.

• An AI-first approach: you use AI tooling to drive efficiency and outcomes.

• Technical depth across a suite of products, with a bonus for hardware-software integration.

• Industry Knowledge: Experience with routing, navigation, commercial trucking fleets, and logistics
