About this role.
Samsara is hiring a remote Commercial Account Executive to sell its connected-operations IoT platform to small and midsize customers in Mexico.

The seller will target accounts with 11–30 vehicles and manage a high-volume pipeline while selling primarily through Zoom and phone. Candidates need at least one year of closing-sales experience, a record of quota attainment, cold-calling capability, and familiarity with Salesforce. This is a high-performance role requiring curiosity about operational industries and the ability to build trusted customer relationships.

Sample interview questions
I segment accounts by fit and priority, research concise operational triggers, and use a consistent call-email-social cadence. I block daily time for new outreach and follow-ups, log every activity in Salesforce, and review conversion metrics weekly to improve messaging and prioritization.
I mapped the decision process early, identified the economic buyer and operational users, and tailored value messaging to each stakeholder. I maintained a mutual action plan with clear next steps, addressed concerns directly, and kept momentum through regular recap communications until the deal closed.
I would begin with discovery around safety incidents, vehicle utilization, paperwork burden, and visibility gaps rather than lead with product features. I would connect the relevant telematics, video safety, or workflow capabilities to measurable operational outcomes and propose a focused proof of concept to reduce adoption risk.
I review pipeline coverage, stage quality, and activity-to-meeting conversion to determine whether the gap is top-of-funnel, qualification, or deal progression. I then increase targeted prospecting, re-engage viable stalled opportunities, seek coaching on key deals, and focus time on actions most likely to create qualified pipeline and closeable revenue.
I first clarify whether the objection is budget, value, timing, or a competitive comparison. I reinforce the business impact and cost of the current problem, confirm the stakeholder’s decision criteria, and present appropriate packaging or commercial options without discounting prematurely. I always document agreed next steps and preserve value throughout the negotiation.
Who we are
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.
Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.
About the role:
This is a high energy role in which you will bring the Internet of Things to small to medium size customers, building Samsara’s business and bringing the benefits of sensor data to customers. Typical sales will be $5k to $20k, and typically involve proof of concepts, multiple stakeholders, multi-faceted pricing negotiations, and selling to owners, safety and operational managers.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Mexico. You will be selling over zoom and not in person.
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.
In this role, you will:
- Own customer engagements end-to-end, from prospecting and qualification to close.
- Generate pipeline through strategic outbound prospecting, as well as receive inbound leads from our account development team.
- Target accounts with 11-30 vehicles.
- Experience handling and owning transactional sales process with high volume demands.
- 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.
Minimum requirements for this role:
- 1+ years of experience in a closing sales role
An ideal candidate has:
- Proven track record of consistent quota achievement
- Experience selling in the commercial space – small to medium deals sizes
- Experience with high-volume cold calling
- Experience in fast-paced, transactional sales
- Must demonstrate a growth mindset and a willingness to be collaborative with your teammates and in your selling process
- SFDC familiarity
