Mid Market Account Executive - DACH

About the role

Samsara is a fortress in a volatile market. We are a $1.9B ARR, NYSE-listed powerhouse that sells essential technology to the physical operations powering the global economy. This is a seat built for high performers and incredibly driven individuals who want to accelerate their careers.

While many in the tech scene are scaling back, our DACH team continued to perform above 100% last year. We are looking for territory owners who want to manage deal cycles from €10k to €300k, selling a complex suite of 15+ products to 8 different personas, including MDs and Finance Directors. If you want to be pushed to your limit and rewarded, this is the place.

Whilst the role can be worked remotely anywhere in Germany, there is a need to visit clients in the region as required (typically fortnightly basis).

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 your destiny: Operate as a pure revenue leader, responsible for 80-90% net-new logo acquisition through self-sourced pipeline.
• Get In Early: The DACH Mid-Market is a high-achieving segment in the company. The window to build something significant is open right now.
• Sharpen Your Edge: Access elite enablement — Command the Message and MEDDPICC coaching — built to make you a more effective closer.

Minimum Requirements for the role

• Winning DNA: Min.18 months in a full-cycle, outbound-heavy SaaS closing role. You must have a proven history of building your own pipe from scratch.
• Over-achievement: A track record of hitting and exceeding quota in a competitive, complex environment
• Strategic Grit: Experience managing multi-stakeholder deal cycles and technical POCs. We value your ability to hunt
• Native German language speakers

Advantageous

• Intellectual Curiosity: You are eager to learn the inner workings of diverse industries, from waste management to food distribution, to better align our technology with their operational pain.
• A Repeatable Sales Framework: You don’t rely on luck or intuition. You have a structured methodology that delivers success and you understand that consistent, high-quality inputs lead to predictable results.
• A Data-Minded Approach: You are a student of your own funnel. You understand how to structure your activity—prospecting volume, discovery depth, and multi-threading—to ensure a consistent output and forecast accuracy.
• Continuous Process Iteration: You possess a relentless drive for self-improvement. You are someone who actively seeks feedback, iterates on their approach, and understands that evolving your tactics is the only way to stay ahead of the market.

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.
