Sr. Manager, Services Partners

Samsara’s rapid growth and success in the enterprise segment has created a need for more services partners to assist customers with large complex deployments. As the Sr. Manager of Services Partners, you will be responsible for recruiting, enabling, and overseeing the business relationship with hardware installation, implementation, and integration partners across all product categories. 

You and your team will evolve our partner capabilities by implementing strategic initiatives and improving operational efficiency across the function. You will own the program strategy, P&L, and executive partner management, serving as the primary architect for how we recruit, enable, and oversee services partners. You will lead a team of Services Partner Managers and Installation Specialists, ensuring we have the right capacity and quality to scale our services partner network globally. 

You will work closely with our Services and Sales teams on setting the strategy for our services partners, and ensuring the right partners are being introduced and recommended to end customers, splitting your time between strategic analysis to identify core opportunities for investment, policy and process development, and project management to drive key programs to fruition.

This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial role that requires working cross-functionally to build programs and processes from scratch. Travel up to 25% may be required.

• 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.

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.

Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.

At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.

In these cases, the job description will clearly indicate any working location requirements. Our goal is to ensure that all members of our team can contribute effectively, whether they are working on-site, in a hybrid model, or fully remotely.
