The ideal candidate will thrive in fast-paced, high-energy environments and enjoy the challenges that rapid growth creates. You'll have a deep understanding of inbound and outbound sales prospecting across segments, a passion for coaching and developing others, and a committed focus on improving the process of prospecting and lead generation.

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.

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 treat rejection as a learning experience: In this role, you will get hung up on and you will get told no. You need to have resilience to pick up the phone again and again to sell Samsara’s mission.
• 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
