Partner Solutions Sales Engineer

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

Samsara has several emerging Channel programs that have the potential to drive significant growth for the company. Some of these include our Fleet Management Company (FMC) Partners, Resale Partners, Referral Partners, and Technology Integration Partners.

As a Partnership Sales Engineer focused on FMCs, you will work closely with Partner Account Managers and be responsible for leading technical and solution oriented conversations with existing and prospective FMC partners and their customers. A core part of this role is helping FMCs and joint customers realize value across two overlapping platforms. This includes providing integration support, architectural guidance, and strategic recommendations on how Samsara and an FMC platform should coexist, complement one another, and be positioned to customers.

Being able to navigate what is needed to create success for the partner is essential. This person will be an expert in Samsara products, features, and APIs. Using that expertise, you will perform deep discovery into partner environments to:

Find solution fit

Determine integration scope and level of effort

Identify additional technology driven revenue opportunities

It will be common to learn an FMC’s platform, data model, workflows, and go to market motion, and translate that understanding into meaningful joint solutions with Samsara.

This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial role that requires working cross functionally to build partner engagements from the ground up. The role and team have strong potential for growth alongside Samsara’s partner ecosystem. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States. This position requires travel up to 25% of the time. Relocation assistance is not provided for this role.
