About the role:

Samsara’s Scaled Customer Success team ensures customers adopt our platform, realize measurable business value, and renew and expand with confidence.

Your role will be cross-functional in nature, working alongside and connecting Sales, Support, Finance, Renewals, Sales Engineering, Customer Education and Product, enabling you to experience multiple aspects of a hyper-growth company from within.
