Mid-Market Account Executive

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 a fortress in a volatile market. We are a $1.9B ARR, NYSE-listed powerhouse that sells essential technology to the physical operations powering the global economy. This is a seat built for high performers and incredibly driven individuals who want to accelerate their careers — the bar for entry is high, but those who execute are well rewarded for it.

While the rest of the tech scene is scaling back, our France team continued to perform above 100% last year. We are looking for territory owners who want to manage deal cycles from €20k to €200k, selling a complex suite of 15+ products to 8 different personas, including MDs and Finance Directors.

If you want to be pushed to your limit and rewarded with the stability of a market leader, this is the place. Whilst the role can be worked remotely anywhere in France, there is a need to visit clients in the region as required (typically fortnightly basis).
