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:

Renewals are the foundation of a SaaS company’s long-term growth and revenue predictability.

In this role, you will:

  • Own the Core renewals strategy and execution to achieve and exceed retention and renewal rate targets
  • Lead, develop, and scale a high-performing team of Renewal Sales Managers and RAEs, establishing clear performance expectations and accountability
  • Drive forecast accuracy and operational rigor, ensuring visibility into renewal risk and opportunity 6+ months in advance
  • Partner closely with Sales, Customer Success, Finance, and Legal to align on account strategy, pricing governance, and expansion pathways
  • Engage directly in high-value and complex negotiations to support deal strategy and successful outcomes
  • Develop negotiation frameworks that maximize contract value while protecting long-term customer relationships
