Specialist Seller - Enterprise Select - AI

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:

Samsara is seeking a high-impact, strategic seller to lead the go-to-market execution for our newest frontier: AI Products.  As an Enterprise Specialist (Overlay), you will partner with our Account Executives (AEs) to build deep partnerships with our largest, most complex accounts. You aren't just selling a tool; you are pioneering GTM, ensuring our customers realize continuous value from AI-driven automation.

About the Team:

This specialist team reports into a Sales Director (SD) and consists of specialist sellers aligned by segment and product.  AEs on the team are charged with accelerating the growth of a new product and will be incentivized on quarterly product sales targets mapped to 1 or more regional directors for mainline sellers in the segment.   Product Specialist sellers drive growth through strategic, high-value deal executing and enabling the segment overall to be successful.

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

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’re meeting with a VP of Operations in waste management; the next, you’re diving into the logistics of a global food distributor. You seek to understand the "unit of value" for every customer.
• You are an AI pragmatist: You understand that AI Products are about outcomes, not just "cool tech." You can translate LLM and agentic capabilities into tangible safety and efficiency gains for the physical world. 
• You build genuine, high-stakes relationships: Our customers operate in "boots-on-the-ground" industries. They value earned trust and partners who understand their operational realities.
• 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: In an overlay role, your success is tied to the success of the broader account team. You lead through influence, not just authority.

In this role you will:

• Architect deals that align Samsara’s AI Products value with customer use cases to provide maximum value and return on investment
• Co-develop new product pipeline with ADRs/AEs across high potential “AI-ready” accounts
• Drive high-touch pilot strategy and success metrics for early adoption
• Partner with GTM and Product to feed back insights and help shape roadmap
• Build frameworks, assets and insights that scale across the sales org

.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 5+ years in complex, full-cycle Enterprise sales.
• 2+ years of direct experience selling in AI-based commercial models (e.g., Snowflake, AWS, Twilio, or AI-native platforms).
• Proven Track Record: Consistent quota over-achievement in complex accounts with $500k+ ARR transactions.
• Deal Complexity: Demonstrated success navigating 6- and 7-figure deals involving multiple stakeholders (Legal, Procurement, InfoSec, and C-Suite).
• Entrepreneurial Agility: Experience selling "Version 1.0" products where the playbook is still being written.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience working in a specialist/overlay co-selling with a mainline AE team.
• 4+ years direct experience selling AI-based commercial models with a deep understanding of forecasting and expansion mechanics.
• Strong grasp of AI/ML concepts and how AI Products differ from standard automation.
