Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Mid-Market Account Executive role sits squarely in a common SaaS motion: landing and expanding customers with a product that requires consultative selling rather than simple seat-based adoption. The emphasis on proofs of concept, trials, and multiple stakeholders signals a solution-selling environment where commercial outcomes depend on translating product capabilities into operational impact for real-world industries.
From a SaaS career perspective, the work builds durable deal-shaping skills that transfer across B2B software: running structured evaluations, aligning technical and business buyers, and navigating procurement-style negotiation. Exposure to $20k–$100k deal sizes also develops judgment around qualification, pipeline management, and forecasting discipline—competencies that matter in most revenue teams as companies mature their go-to-market processes.
This role is best suited to sales professionals who prefer high ownership over their territory and enjoy creating pipeline through proactive outreach. It will fit someone comfortable orchestrating complex conversations across executives and day-to-day operators, and who values learning new customer domains quickly. It also aligns with candidates who want to deepen full-cycle closing capability in a SaaS setting where trials and stakeholder management are central to winning.

Job Description
About the role:
This is a dynamic, high energy role in which you will bring the Internet of Things to mid-sized customers, building Samsara's business and bringing the benefits of sensor data to customers. Typical sales will be $20k to $100k, and involve POCs, multiple stakeholders, managing trials, multi-faceted pricing negotiations, and selling to executives and CXOs.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US in the MST/PST/CST time zone.
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.
- Your mantra is #alwaysbeprospecting: The world of operations is vast. Your customers are often out in the field and the best way to catch them is live on the phone. Samsara’s top reps do constant research to find companies and contacts to expand their pipeline.
- You have innate curiosity in 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 are a life-long learner: Samsara sales are complex. You will need to learn about businesses where you previously had little knowledge. The payoff is big but you have to be willing to put in the work.
- 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 Sales culture means you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before.
Minimum requirements for this role:
- 2+ years experience in a full-cycle, closing sales role
- Experience independently closing new deals larger than $10,000 in annual revenue.
An ideal candidate has:
- Proven track record of consistent quota achievement
- Experience selling in the midmarket space - medium to large deals sizes
- Experience with high-volume cold calling
- Must demonstrate a growth mindset and a willingness to be collaborative with your teammates and in your selling process
