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.

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.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact – helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
• You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
• You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.

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.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 3+ years of relevant experience in People Operations.
• Experience partnering with go-to-market teams (sales, CS or similar), or broader People experience (programs, talent, etc.).
• Learning oriented, with a record of picking up work you haven't done before and experience using AI tools to improve how you work.
• Ability to work well in a fast-paced, iterative environment, open to changes in focus and direction.
• Strong analytical capability, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to plan, scope and carry projects from design through delivery.
• Experience using data to identify insights and inform business decisions.
• Effective communication, consulting, coaching and facilitation skills.

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. 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.
