Описание вакансии

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 this team:

The Sales Planning and Strategy Team’s mandate is to partner cross-functionally to realize growing revenue targets, to scale the organization sustainably, and to address new go-to-market opportunities and challenges. We are responsible for developing Samsara’s multi-year strategy and detailed plan to achieve our revenue growth targets in close collaboration with Finance, Product, and Marketing. We also work with Sales Operations and Strategy to execute our plans in-year and drive strategic initiatives to support Samsara’s profitable growth.

About the role:

The Sales Planning and Strategy team is looking for an intellectually curious, motivated, and high-impact team member to join our team. This role will support building the multi-year plan to achieve our ambitious growth targets, drive analysis to deeply understand our Sales team performance, and manage strategic projects in partnership with our Sales leaders. We are a highly collaborative team and seek to have an outsized impact on Samsara through high-quality output, teaming across functions and hierarchies, and commitment to ongoing skill development.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US.

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.
• You have an innate curiosity about 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 to make a larger impact.
• 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 customer's value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
• 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.

In this role, you will:

• Drive strategic planning initiatives to support Samsara’s long-term growth in partnership with Sales Leadership, Business Operations, Sales Operations, Finance, Marketing, and other cross-functional teams
• Develop insights and own analytical models that inform long-term and annual planning
• Guide Sales leaders through planning and strategic project outputs, incorporating their feedback, and guiding execution
• Prepare executive-level presentations, analyses, and talking points as part of planning and strategic project work
• Collaborate across Samsara, building trusted relationships across organizations and functions to create “connective tissue” between cross-functional teams
• Identify risks to growth goals and develop action plans to mitigate those risks
• 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 for the role:

• 5-8 years of experience in Consulting, Finance, Business Operations, Sales Strategy & Operations or other analytical role
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects with tight deadlines
• Strong analytical and logical reasoning skills; a deep sense of curiosity
• Collaborative orientation and experience in building trusting relationships and influencing others (incl. executive audiences)
• Self-starter who thrives and can multitask in fast-paced and often ambiguous environments; enthusiastic about improving efficiencies. Bias for action.
• Strong presentation skills, able to convey complex ideas in a clear, concise manner both verbally and in writing, comfortable in business and technical discussions.
• Ability to synthesize a broad set of information into a cohesive narrative
• Expertise with analytical tools (e.g., Tableau, Excel, Google Sheets)

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience working with big data tools (e.g., DataBricks, BigQuery, SQL, etc.)
• Experience with GTM strategy
