Sr. People Partner

About the role:

At Samsara, our People Partners contribute to organizational strategy and meaningfully impact business outcomes. We are looking for a Senior People Partner to support key segments across our Go-To-Market (GTM) and Sales teams.  Reporting directly to the Director, GTM People Partners, you will work alongside executive leadership, facilitate strategy, and solve high-impact, real-world business challenges.

We’re moving fast, reinventing playbooks, and actively embracing the new era of AI and modern organizational dynamics. We operate with a creative, problem-solving mindset that prioritizes common-sense solutions and business-focused metrics. If you thrive on building trusted leader relationships, tackling complex talent challenges, and driving measurable impact, this is the team for you.

This role is open to candidates residing in the US or Canada.

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, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
• You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
• You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best. 

In this role, you will:

• Act as a Strategic Thought Partner: Establish yourself as an indispensable, embedded partner to sales and GTM leaders by aligning talent priorities directly with business outcomes.
• Drive Creative Problem-Solving: Acts with urgency, proactively diagnosing team, manager, and organizational needs, and recommends business aligned solutions. 
• Execute Core Talent Programs: Drive continuous talent management, compensation/reward programs, and retention strategies designed to lower attrition in high-volume GTM environments.
• Collaborate Across the People Function: Partner seamlessly with Regional People Partners, Program Managers, and COEs to build, scale, and seamlessly deliver strategic people solutions.
• Champion Samsara's Culture: Role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.
• Connect in Person: Travel roughly once per quarter for leadership offsites, business strategy meetings, and key team gatherings.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 6+ years of relevant experience in People Operations.
• Experience partnering with go-to-market teams (sales, CS or similar), or broader People experience (programs, talent, etc.) alongside business partnering.
• Learning oriented with demonstrated experience leveraging AI to automate routine tasks.
• Ability to work well in a fast-paced, iterative environment, open to changes in focus and direction.
• Excellent analytical capability, attention to detail, and problem-solving acumen.
• Experience using data to identify insights and influence leadership decision-making.
• Effective communication, consulting, coaching and facilitation skills.
