Traveler-Friendly Insight

This role is labeled as remote-supported, but it comes with a meaningful caveat: regular travel to visit enterprise customers onsite across the region (Ireland and the UK) is explicitly required. For digital nomads, this creates a significant constraint — you need to be geographically close enough to the UK/Ireland to make frequent in-person customer visits viable.

Timezone requirements are implicit but real. Enterprise sales cycles require being available during UK/Ireland business hours (GMT/IST), which rules out long-term stays in Southeast Asia or the Americas without serious scheduling gymnastics.

  • Nearby nomad bases that could work: Lisbon (1-2h flight to London/Dublin), Amsterdam (easy access to UK/IE), or even Barcelona — all allow quick hops for customer meetings while offering a lower cost of living than London.
  • Visa angle: EU citizens can use freedom of movement to base in Lisbon or Barcelona. Non-EU citizens should explore Portugal's D8 Digital Nomad Visa or Spain's Digital Nomad Visa, both valid for remote workers employed by foreign companies.
  • Perks of note: A professional development stipend is mentioned, which could cover coworking space memberships — a practical perk for nomads needing professional environments for client calls.

In short: this is a semi-location-flexible role, not a fully async one. It suits a nomad who treats Europe as their base region and can easily fly to the UK or Ireland for deal cycles — not someone on a slow-travel itinerary across continents.

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 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 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

The Select (Majors) Account sales team is responsible for revenue growth in new and existing customers that represent the largest prospective Enterprise accounts for Samsara by total addressable opportunity. You should be an energetic evangelist, passionate about introducing transformative new technology into the market, with a history of over-achievement and comfort selling into all levels of an Enterprise organisation, including technology and lines of business.

Whilst we do support remote working, flexibility is required to travel to visit customers onsite across the region as required.

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 catch 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 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 in order to make a larger impact.
  • 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 and haven't been met with the type of technology we offer. 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:

  • Develop Executive-Level relationships within strategic, named accounts
  • Own customer engagements end-to-end, from prospecting and qualification to close
  • Demonstrate excellent solution-based sales process in complex sales campaigns
  • Mobilize a large matrix virtual team of business stakeholders to include Operations, Finance, IT, a dedicated Solution Engineer, and an Account Development Representative
  • 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 and across new offices

Minimum Requirements for the Role:

  • 7+ years of experience in a full-cycle, Account Executive closing sales role
  • Proven track record of consistent quota over-achievement in complex accounts, with $1M+ ARR transactions
  • Experience handling and owning enterprise deal sizes and C-Level relationships; a true Value/Challenger Seller
  • Strategic pursuit experience and comfort with targeted prospecting; a new logo winner who lives the Hunter mentality
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with a demonstrated ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Team player with a collaborative, growth mindset

An Ideal Candidate Also Has:

  • Awards for top achievement (President's Club, Winner's Circle, Top 10%)
  • Passion for transformational technology in world operations
  • Excitement about solving new problems in innovative ways
  • Experience selling complex technology solutions (e.g., IoT, SaaS, Telco, or similar) to Enterprise customers
