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.

About the role:

As a Samsara Technical Account Manager (TAM), you will build a track record of customer success by leveraging your technical expertise, strong business acumen, and a commitment to living by Samsara's core values and operating principles. Your primary responsibilities will be to build and maintain relationships with customers and account teams, develop a technical understanding of your customers’ Samsara implementations, transform their technical support experience, update our system of engagement, and contribute to team growth. These activities will enable you to proactively set your assigned customers up for success by optimizing their Samsara platform and mitigating risk with particular care during critical peak events.

As a TAM, you will occasionally be the point of contact for significant incidents, being responsible for the customer’s expectations and communications through resolving such incidents. Our TAM is the primary technical interface on behalf of our customers and works closely across internal and external stakeholders, as required, to address customer needs.

In this role, you will:

• Transform your assigned customers’ support experience through technical proficiency and problem solving. Demonstrate an understanding of Samsara's products, including APIs, hardware, and software troubleshooting.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact between Samsara and assigned customers, ensuring their technical requirements and objectives are met.
• Develop a comprehensive understanding of our customers' business operations and use this knowledge to align Samsara's solutions with their specific needs. Identify opportunities for additional value and growth while presenting outcomes achieved.
• Cultivate solid and long-lasting relationships with technical stakeholders within your customers’ organizations. Establish yourself as a technical trusted advisor, advocating for customer interests within Samsara.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of customer interactions and activities in our system of engagement.
• Actively participate in scaling and building the Technical Account Management team, sharing knowledge and best practices to enhance the team's capabilities.
• Be available for occasional travel to customer sites and may need to be online for some after-hour or weekend coverage depending on the customers’ needs.
• A strong passion for technology and a commitment to continuous learning, with a demonstrated interest in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and their practical applications in a business context.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s Operating Values and Principles in how you show up to work.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 7+ years of experience in technical account management, customer success, or a similar role.

• Python coding skills, allowing you to provide enhanced technical support and solutions to our customers.
• Experience supporting enterprise-level customers in a SaaS, IoT, or PaaS environment.
• Organized, with a commitment to maintaining accurate account records.
• A team player who can collaborate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
