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’s partner ecosystem is a key growth driver for the company, spanning Insurance, Resale, Referral, Installation, Technology Integration, and Fleet Management Partners. As Partner Operations Analyst, you will play a critical role in the day-to-day operations and systems that power this ecosystem.

You’ll be the operational backbone for Samsara’s Partner Portal, Deal Registration processes, partner data management, and program launch support. You’ll work hands-on in our PRM platform and Salesforce to ensure partners and Partner Account Managers (PAMs) have the tools, data, and processes they need to succeed.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is meticulous about data and process quality, and wants to grow into a career in partner or channel operations.

• You love learning new tools and systems: Whether it’s a PRM platform, Salesforce, or a reporting tool you’ve never seen before, you pick it up fast and become the resident expert.

• You build genuine relationships with your stakeholders: You’ll work closely with Partner Account Managers, internal teams, and sometimes directly with partners. You communicate clearly and earn trust.

• 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.
