About the role:

Our Strategic Customer Success Managers pick up where our Services team leaves off, working closely with Samsara's largest Fleet customers to understand their unique challenges, advising on how to leverage Samsara for their needs, and becoming their long-term strategic partner.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Canada. Customer travel is expected up to 25-40%.

You should apply if:
  • You want to impact the industries that run our world: Every phone call you answer and every email you send can affect whether truck drivers deliver goods on time and without accidents, whether students get dropped off safely from school, or whether power gets restored quickly after a natural disaster.
  • You thrive the most when solving problems: Our constantly expanding technology and the complexities faced by our customers provide an exciting range of challenges for our Customer Success teams. With a growth mindset and a desire to learn, you will strategically partner with our customers to find unique solutions to help keep their operations safe, efficient, and sustainable.

In this role, you will:
  • Be on the front lines and ensure our customers increase the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations with our IoT platform
  • Compose joint success plans with customers, outlining their objectives, metrics, and timelines, and effectively removing any barriers to achieving business value
  • Orchestrate executive business reviews with our customers' decision-makers and our executive leadership where we look back at past successes and align on upcoming goals
  • Conduct workshops with customers to understand their current operations and recommend workflow changes to get the most out of their Samsara products
  • Deeply understand the Samsara platform's capabilities and explain them to businesses of all types - field services, utilities, long-haul transportation, school buses, and many more.
  • Partners with cross-functional teams like Product, Support, Finance, etc. to drive progress on customer requests.
  • Serve as a mentor to the wider Customer Success teams
  • 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:
  • 6+ years of work experience with most recent experience in a senior Customer Success, account management, or strategic consulting role
  • Experience supporting Enterprise SaaS and/or Fortune 500 companies
  • Strong priority management and high emotional intelligence; this is a demanding position with high internal visibility
  • Experience supporting or working with technical products

  • Passion for going above and beyond the call of duty, taking initiative, and thriving in a fast-paced, change-heavy environment
  • Diplomacy, tact, and poise under pressure when working through customer issues
  • Bachelor's degree from a 4-year institution

  • Experience serving and supporting large-scale business solutions at Fortune 500- companies.
  • Strong bias for action, the ability to think big, with insistence on high standards.

At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
