About the role:
The Sales Planning and Strategy team is looking for an intellectually curious, motivated, and high-impact individual to join our team. This role will drive analysis to deeply understand our Sales team performance, build a multi-year plan to achieve our ambitious growth targets and drive strategic projects in partnership with our Sales leaders. We are a highly collaborative team that partners with our leaders and cross-functional partners to realize growing revenue targets, scale the organization sustainably, and address Go-to-Market challenges and opportunities. We seek to have an outsized impact on Samsara and we achieve that ambition through high-quality output, teaming across functions and hierarchies, and commitment to ongoing skill development.
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.
- 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 sales team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support to make a larger impact.
- 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 customer's value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
- You want to be with the best: Samsara’s high-performance culture means you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before.
- You are a team player: At Samsara, sales is a team sport. We help each other out by sharing best practices and focusing on winning as a team.
