Job Description

Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, which allows businesses that depend on physical operations to harness IoT (Internet of Things) data to develop actionable business insights and improve their operations. Founded in San Francisco in 2015, we now employ more than 1,800 people globally and have over 1.5 million active devices. Samsara also went public in December 2021 and we’re just getting started. 

Recent awards we’ve won include: 

  • #2 in the Financial Times’ Fastest Growing Companies in Americas list 2021
  • Named as a Best Place to Work in Built In 2022 
  • #19 in the Forbes Cloud 100 2021  
  • IoT Analytics Company of the Year in 2022’s IoT Breakthrough Winners 
  • Forbes Advisor named us the Best Solution for Large Companies - Fleet management software for 2022!

We're driving change in industries that are yet to fully embrace digital transformation. Physical operations make up a massive slice of the global economy but haven’t benefited from innovation and actionable information in the way that other sectors have. The potential for scale and impact is huge.

As a part of the Deal Desk team, you will be at the center of helping the company achieve its growth targets by acting as a trusted advisor to the Sales teams to get deals across the line.

  • Evaluate deal financials, commercial terms and conditions, operational requirements and non-standard structuring requests
  • Optimize cash flow by incorporating third-party financing into deal structure and support management of third-party finance partners
  • Mitigate risk through standardized terms and controls, credit policies and application of revenue recognition requirements
  • Collaborate with cross functional teams to establish and execute standard processes, workflows, and policy improvements
  • Support quarterly Sales & Finance goals through deal execution
  • Drive daily deal requests such as opportunity validation, deal analysis and credit reviews
  • Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural philosophy (Obsess Over the Customer, Build for the Long Term, Growth Mindset) as we scale globally and across new offices

Minimum requirements for the role:

  • 3+ years of experience either in Deal Desk, Finance, Sales Operations or Revenue Operations
  • Strong problem solving skills along with the ability to communicate rationale for decisions across all levels of the organization
  • Demonstrated ability to support Sales in winning and contracting bundled SaaS deals
  • Success operating in a high-growth business and ability drive results independently
  • Excellent analytical skills
  • Experience analyzing deal economics, company financials and third-party financing options
  • Excellent presentation skills, must be comfortable presenting to internal & external audiences
