Partner Account Manager - Public Sector

About the role:

This role will join Samsara’s Global Partnerships team, which is responsible for building and activating our ecosystem of go-to-market partners across Insurance, co-sell, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Public Sector routes to market, and Fleet Management Companies. 

You’ll be responsible for our Public Sector referral partners and tier 2 reseller partners - building scalable programs to drive business via Tier 1 and Tier 2 partner motions, sharing Samsara’s innovation with our partners, and helping to drive a differentiated presence in the market.

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 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.
