Mid-Market Sales Manager, DACH

Samsara is one of the fastest-growing enterprise technology companies in the world, with $1.9B in ARR and 30% year-on-year growth. Our DACH business is one of the strongest and fastest-growing markets in the region, and we’re now looking for an Mid-Market Sales Manager to lead our Mid-Market team in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This is a backfill driven by the internal promotion of our previous manager to a director-level role within the business — a strong signal of what’s possible here. You will inherit a team of high-calibre Account Executives operating in one of the most compelling IoT markets in Europe, selling a connected operations platform to the companies that keep physical industries moving: transport, logistics, field services, construction, and manufacturing. Your job is to turn a strong team into a consistently exceptional one — by building a structured outbound pipeline engine, coaching each rep individually, and translating commercial strategy into daily practice across the team. This role is based in Germany and requires native German language fluency. Samsara operates a remote-first model across its European business. • Own the performance and development of a team of Mid-Market Account Executives across the DACH territory, holding reps accountable to pipeline targets, activity standards, and forecast hygiene through structured weekly operating rhythms. • Coach each rep individually — adapting your approach to where each person is in their development — from building territory plans and running effective discovery calls through to closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals. • Build and sustain a predictable outbound pipeline engine across the team, setting clear rep-level generation targets, running weekly pipe reviews, and diagnosing coverage gaps before they become quarter-end problems. • Join key deals alongside your reps — as a coach and as a closer when needed — pressure-testing qualification rigour and helping move deals through the critical stages of the sales cycle. • Partner closely with your Director, Sales Engineering, ADR leadership and Marketing to align on territory strategy, resource deployment, and cross-functional execution — translating broader commercial priorities into daily team practice. • Hire and onboard exceptional talent: actively sourcing candidates through your own network, running a rigorous assessment process, and building a bench that raises the standard of the team over time. • Contribute to the scaling of Samsara’s Mainland Europe business — sharing best practices across peer ISMs, supporting wider commercial initiatives, and building the operational foundation for a larger team as the DACH region grows. • Champion, 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 • Hire, develop and lead an inclusive, engaged, and high performing team

• 2 years of proven experience as a frontline sales manager in a B2B technology or SaaS environment, leading a team of at least five Account Executives through a direct, outbound-led selling motion. • A background of at least 5 years as an individual contributor in a quota-carrying, outbound sales role before moving into management — you understand what it takes to build pipeline from scratch because you’ve done it yourself. • Strong deal qualification fluency: you coach reps through complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and inspect pipeline against a structured framework (MEDDPICC or equivalent). • Demonstrated ability to manage performance proactively: you’ve run structured coaching plans, held difficult conversations, and made the right call when a rep hasn’t been able to turn it around. • Located in Germany, with the ability to travel within the DACH region for in-person meetings with prospects, customers, and the broader Samsara EMEA team. • A coaching-first leadership style: you invest differently in each rep based on where they are, what they need, and what their ceiling looks like — not a one-size-fits-all approach to development. • Deep familiarity with the physical operations landscape — whether from selling into transport, logistics, field services, construction, or manufacturing — or a genuine curiosity about and affinity for these industries and the people who run them. • A hunger to prove yourself in a high-growth environment: you’re not driven by title progression alone, but by the desire to build something exceptional and be measured against it. • Experience building outbound pipeline from the ground up in a market where your team couldn’t rely on inbound volume or a well-established brand — and the conviction that this is a muscle you can develop in others. • The ability to translate strategy into practice quickly: you understand the commercial direction from above and know how to land it with your team in a way that changes behaviour on Monday morning.

At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time. Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
