Sr. Sales Enablement Specialist

About the role:

The Samsara sales team continues to grow at an astonishing rate and we need a seasoned enablement professional who can uplevel our sales onboarding programs. This high-impact role will be instrumental in accelerating time to productivity by ensuring every new hire has the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to deliver exceptional results.

The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated skill set for building training for in-person and virtual audiences, a track record of cross-functional collaboration, and talent for change management within a fast-paced Sales environment.

This is a hybrid role based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.

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, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You have an innate curiosity about how businesses work: One day you’ll meet with someone in waste management, and the next you may be learning about the inner workings of a food distribution center. Our top sales team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support in order to make a larger impact.
• You build genuine relationships with your customers: The industries we serve have relied on pen-and-paper solutions for years and haven’t been met with the type of technology we offer. Our customers value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
• You want to be with the best: Samsara’s high-performance culture means you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before.
• You are a team player: At Samsara, sales is a team sport. We help each other out by sharing best practices and focusing on winning as a team.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with sales & sales leadership to uplevel existing Sales Onboarding programs.
• Build a new hire curriculum that is scalable, engaging for remote audiences and informed by industry best practices.
• Lead facilitation of training workshops, both virtual and in-office formats.
• Continuously improve training content with data-driven insights, learner feedback and alignment to internal product and process changes.
• Champion, 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.
• Hire, develop, and lead an inclusive, engaged, and high performing team.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 3-5 years of experience developing, coordinating and facilitating training sessions for audiences of 20+ learners (virtual and/or live)
• Demonstrable experience building educational curriculum that effectively guides learners through their learning journey.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts using clear and concise language.
• Experience implementing modern learning theories and methodologies.
• Works well under pressure in a fast paced, high exception environment.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Multi-lingual and/or has worked with global audiences
• Has a background in sales, operations, or program management
• Excels in an autonomous working environment
