SMB Account Executive at Samsara - IoT Sales Career in Columbus

Who We Are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, a platform that enables organizations dependent on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we help improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries — including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — are the infrastructure of our planet, and we are excited to help digitally transform them at scale.

Working at Samsara means you'll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team 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

This is a high-energy role in which you will bring the Internet of Things to small to medium-size customers, building Samsara's business and delivering the benefits of sensor data. Typical sales range from $5k to $20k and involve proof of concepts, multiple stakeholders, multi-faceted pricing negotiations, and selling to owners, safety managers, and operational managers.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Mexico. You will be selling over Zoom and not in person.

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 reach them is live on the phone. Samsara's top reps do constant research to find companies and contacts to expand their pipeline.
• You have innate curiosity in how businesses work: One day you'll meet with someone in waste management; 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.
• 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. 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:

• Own customer engagements end-to-end, from prospecting and qualification to close.
• Generate pipeline through strategic outbound prospecting, as well as receive inbound leads from our account development team.
• Target accounts with 11–30 vehicles.
• Handle and own a transactional sales process with high-volume demands.
• 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.

Minimum Requirements:

• 1+ years of experience in a closing sales role

Ideal Candidate Has:

• Proven track record of consistent quota achievement
• Experience selling in the commercial space — small to medium deal sizes
• Experience with high-volume cold calling
• Experience in fast-paced, transactional sales
• Growth mindset and willingness to be collaborative with teammates and in the selling process
• Salesforce (SFDC) familiarity

Total Rewards

At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.

Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more.
