Sr. Sales Engineer - UK & I

About the role:

As a Senior Inside Sales Engineer at Samsara, you’ll be splitting your time across two major focus areas; (1) supporting senior-level sellers in an attempt to grow existing customers, or win new customers, and (2) contributing to the SE Team as a Senior resource in the quest of continually raising the bar. There is an expectation that a Senior SE is highly accountable for each technical sale, meaning that strong storytelling, objection handling, custom workarounds, advanced integrations, and extensive hands-on experience are requirements to win business. Takeaways from these activities should be shared across the SE Team via team meetings, messaging tools, etc.

Additionally, a Senior ISE is accountable for carving out time to source and deliver product information, conduct testing of alpha products/features, manage projects, and build process improvements and automation that will scale the broader Inside SE Team. Note, this role is quota driven, whilst also expected to maintain delivery on senior responsibilities.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United Kingdom. This position requires travel up to 50% of the time. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
