In this role, your impact is felt across the physical operations that run our world. Your strategic guidance directly influences the safety of thousands of frontline workers and the efficiency of global supply chains. You will lead a fundamental shift in how our customers view technology, moving them from solving individual problems to positioning Samsara as the strategic platform that underpins their entire operation. By architecting joint success plans that define critical objectives and metrics, you will gameplan on new workflows to ensure our largest partners achieve their multi-year business goals.

• Be on the front lines to ensure our largest customers increase the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations by translating deep knowledge of the Samsara platform into strategic results across diverse industries like construction, transportation, and many more.
• Drives business transformation by leading strategic customer engagements to deeply understand current operations, proactively recommending workflow transformations and architecting joint success plans that define the metrics and timelines necessary to remove barriers and deliver business value.
• Orchestrates executive business reviews for our most complex partnerships, leading the narrative with our customer’s decision-makers to anticipate future operational risks and align multi-year business transformations with Samsara’s long-term roadmap.
• Influences internal roadmaps across Product, Finance, and Support to drive mission-critical customer initiatives.
