We are looking for a Partner Marketing Manager to accelerate the growth and impact of our Public Sector Partnerships.

At Samsara, the Partner Marketing team is responsible for marketing to and through our channel of global partners. This is a fast-growing area of the business that plays a strategic role in our future success.

We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
