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 the role:

This role is a key leadership position within Samsara’s Global Partnerships team, specifically responsible for our Fleet Management Company (FMC) ecosystem strategy. This is a high impact role at the intersection of strategy and GTM, and focuses on building & activating partnerships in a space with momentum for us.

This is a leadership opportunity for a builder who can navigate the complexity of FMCs and align joint growth objectives. You will define and activate the optimal route-to-market model - establishing the commercial structure (e.g., co-sell, referral, resale, or hybrid) that drives scalable, incremental revenue for both organisations.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the UK or possibly France.

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 in order 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 customers 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:

Build our Fleet Management Company (FMC) partner motion in EMEA, starting with the UK and France. This role will own and scale Samsara’s FMC GTM strategy with leading leasing and fleet management companies who are already Samsara customers and want to partner more strategically. Your mission is to convert interest into a repeatable, revenue-generating motion.

This is a builder-operator role. You will not inherit a mature program. You will design, activate, and scale the model alongside Sales, Marketing, and regional leadership.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role with clear revenue influence metrics.

Location: United Kingdom (remote). French language skills are a strong plus.
