People Partner

Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is 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 that’s 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:

At Samsara, our People Partners contribute to organizational strategy and meaningfully impact business outcomes. We are looking for a People Partner to support key segments across our Go-To-Market (GTM) and Sales teams. Reporting directly to the Director, GTM People Partners, you will work alongside executive leadership, facilitate strategy, and solve high-impact, real-world business challenges.

We’re moving fast, reinventing playbooks, and actively embracing the new era of AI and modern organizational dynamics.

In this role, you will:

Act as a Strategic Thought Partner: Establish yourself as an indispensable, embedded partner to sales and GTM leaders by aligning talent priorities directly with business outcomes.

Drive Creative Problem-Solving: Acts with urgency, proactively diagnosing team, manager, and organizational needs, and recommends business aligned solutions.

Execute Core Talent Programs: Drive continuous talent management, compensation/reward programs, and retention strategies designed to lower attrition in high-volume GTM environments.

Collaborate Across the People Function: Partner seamlessly with Regional People Partners, Program Managers, and COEs to build, scale, and seamlessly deliver strategic people solutions.

Champion Samsara's Culture: Role model, and 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 globally and across new offices.

Connect in Person: Travel roughly once per quarter for leadership offsites, business strategy meetings, and key team gatherings.
