Job description

Senior EMEA Recruiter at Samsara | Grow in TA — Remote

This is a high-visibility senior individual contributor role at a NYSE-listed, high-growth IoT company with real career leverage. Owning both Early Talent and G&A recruiting across EMEA means you'll develop a rare dual skill set — campus/university program building AND senior stakeholder management across Finance, Legal, People, and IT functions.

Compensation context: Samsara explicitly claims above-market pay with equity upside — for a Senior EMEA Recruiter at a public tech company in the UK, market benchmarks typically sit between £65,000–£95,000 base, with bonus and equity on top. Samsara's "meaningful differentiation for top performers" suggests real upside beyond base.

Skills you'll build:

• AI-forward recruiting tools and data-driven hiring analytics — highly transferable and in growing demand
• University relations and campus program design — a specialisation that's scarce and valued at scaling tech firms
• Multi-country EMEA compliance and mobility knowledge (country-specific hiring requirements)
• Executive stakeholder influence — exposure to regional and global business leaders

Green flags: Public company with structured equity, explicit culture of internal growth ("this role won't be your last"), DEI commitment built into the recruiter's scope, and AI tooling investment signal a modern, well-resourced TA function.

Watch for: The breadth of scope (G&A + Early Talent + EMEA-wide) is ambitious for one person — clarify team support and headcount goals in the interview. Fast-growing orgs can overload senior recruiters without adequate tooling or coordinator support.

Who We Are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, 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 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 on a mission to power the connected operations that keep the world moving. As our Senior Early Talent & G&A Recruiter in EMEA, you will lead Engineering Early Talent (New Grads and Interns) and G&A hiring across multiple businesses. You will partner with regional and global leaders, build sourcing strategies that work, and give every candidate a standout experience.

You Should Apply If These Excite You

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your work helps keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and workers home safely, as we digitize large sectors of the global economy.
• High-Impact Role: Direct visibility and influence with regional and global business leaders in a fast-growing organisation.
• You are the architect of your own career: Put in the work and this role won't be your last at Samsara, with countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft.

• Cutting-Edge Tools: Work with best-in-class, AI-forward recruiting technologies and data-driven strategies.

In This Role, You Will

• Lead G&A hiring across EMEA: partner with a diverse group of business leaders, plan hiring by function (Finance, People, Legal, IT), and switch context fast to keep every business moving.
• Build Early Talent programs in EMEA: lead local New Grad and Intern hiring, grow university relations and campus pipelines, and work with HQ on planning and execution alongside local engineering leaders to hire early‑career talent.
• Build creative sourcing strategies across LinkedIn, referrals, and other channels, tailored to each function and market and backed by EMEA market intelligence.
• Manage the pipeline from sourcing to onboarding, delivering an exceptional candidate experience.
• Use data to refine recruiting strategy and influence hiring decisions.
• Champion diversity, equity, and inclusion through impactful hiring programs.
• Work with People, Legal, Finance, and Mobility to streamline hiring, including country‑specific requirements.

• Embed Samsara's cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale.
• 6+ years of proven full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably in a tech organisation with a very high hiring bar.
• Proven experience building Early Talent programs, hiring for Engineering New Grads and Interns in the UK (mandatory) and G&A roles (e.g. Finance, People, Legal, IT) in EMEA.
• Excellent communication with key partners in a concise, professional, and proactive way.
• Exceptional stakeholder management abilities and executive presence; experienced working with a diverse population of business leaders and switching context rapidly.
• Innovation mindset: comfortable implementing new tools, technologies, and methodologies.
• AI-forward: strong analytical skills when reviewing hiring data and forecasting hiring needs.
• Skilled at optimising AI tools to create a better candidate experience and efficient workflows — no AI slop.

An Ideal Candidate Also Has

• Deep understanding of EMEA talent market trends, turned into actionable strategies for each function.
• Proven outbound sourcing for technical and specialist talent in a competitive market.

What's In It for You

• The chance to shape and build Samsara's teams across EMEA.
