Description
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.
We are seeking a senior partnership strategist to lead and innovate our collaboration with the world’s leading insurance carriers and brokers. This is not a direct sales role; it is a high-visibility, consultative position designed for a strategic thinker who can navigate complex organizations to drive industry-wide impact.
Samsara’s technology is transforming physical operations, and our insurance ecosystem is pivotal to that mission. In this role, you will move beyond transactional relationship management to become a trusted advisor to C-suite executives while simultaneously driving rigorous execution at the field level. You will act as the bridge between high-level strategy and regional reality, ensuring that the initiatives we design in the boardroom are effectively adopted in branch offices across the UK.

About the Role
You will serve as the strategic architect for our most critical insurance relationships. Your mandate is to drive collaboration, innovation, and—crucially—accountability. You will work hand-in-hand with partners to build scalable programs that deliver tangible value, ensuring that joint business plans are not just documents, but active roadmaps for growth.
While you will not manage a direct sales pipeline, you are the general manager of this ecosystem. You will be accountable for the partner attach rate, the accuracy of revenue forecasting, and the activation of our partner networks. This role requires you to be as comfortable presenting to a Board of Directors as you are energizing a floor of brokers in a regional office.
Key Responsibilities:

You will be accountable for the partner attach rate, the accuracy of revenue forecasting, and the activation of our partner networks. This role requires you to be as comfortable presenting to a Board of Directors as you are energizing a floor of brokers in a regional office.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as a Strategic Consultant: Engage effectively with senior insurance executives, serving as a thought leader on telematics and IoT. You will translate complex technical concepts into compelling business cases for non-technical audiences.
- Drive Regional Enablement & Field Activation: A partnership is only as good as its adoption. You will lead the charge in operationalizing strategies across branch and regional offices. You will ensure that local brokers and regional teams are educated, empowered, and motivated to advocate for Samsara’s value proposition.
- Travel Expectation: You should expect to travel up to 70% of the time within the UK.
- You are an "Operator-Strategist": You can design the 3-year vision, but you are also willing to roll up your sleeves to ensure a regional branch in the Midlands understands how to sell it.
- You Value Accountability: You are not afraid to have tough conversations to keep a partnership on track. You know how to drive performance through influence and clear governance.
- You are Commercially Astute: You understand that a strategic partnership must be measurable. You are comfortable analyzing attach rates, pipeline influence, and revenue data to forecast future performance.
- You thrive on Consultative Impact: You are motivated by helping partners solve their most difficult challenges. You enjoy deep-diving into business models (like underwriting or claims workflows) to find opportunities for innovation.
Minimum Requirements:
Benefits
- Senior-Level Experience: Extensive background in strategic partnerships, management consulting, or corporate strategy, preferably within the insurance or InsurTech space.
- Commercial Fluency: Proven ability to manage specific KPIs related to partner influence (sourced/influenced revenue) and a track record of accurate forecasting.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Proven track record of engaging and influencing C-suite stakeholders and regional sales teams.
- Operational Excellence: Strong project management skills with the ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and bring structure to ambiguous environments.
- Experience in management consulting working with financial services or insurance clients.
- A background in Risk Engineering or Insurance Product Development.
- Experience managing national territories requiring significant regional travel.
