About the role:

As a Sales Graduate at Samsara, you will be trained, both on-the-job and with formal training programs led by a high performing team of sales professionals, to develop into an Outbound Account Development Representative (ADR).

Typical career path for a Sales Graduate includes 6-12 months in Sales Graduate Role, 18-24 months in an ADR role, then progression to an Account Executive position.

On a daily basis, you will be responsible for timely responses to inbound inquiries, expanding our list of prospects by finding new companies to target, and ultimately contributing to the generation of new business in EMEA for Samsara.

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.
