In this role you will:

• Develop and manage joint go-to-market strategies for insurance and OEM, aligning on priorities, audiences, positioning, routes to market, and success metrics.
• Build and scale partner marketing motions from strategy through execution, including co-branded campaigns, partner launches, events, webinars, customer stories, thought leadership, partner communications, and seller enablement.
• Establish trusted relationships with partner stakeholders and serve as a strategic marketing advisor, identifying opportunities that create value for partners, mutual customers, and Samsara.
• Collaborate with Partner Sales and Partner Programs to translate business priorities into integrated marketing plans that drive partner engagement, partner-influenced pipeline, and product adoption.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Field and Event Marketing, Customer Marketing, Brand, Communications, and Marketing Operations to deliver coordinated programs and content.
• Create clear, compelling messaging and enablement for different audiences, from partner executives and sellers to customers and prospects.
• Use partner and campaign data to define key performance indicators, measure program effectiveness, communicate insights, and continuously optimize investments.
• Develop repeatable processes, playbooks, and operating rhythms that help partner marketing scale with the business across segments and geographies.
• Manage multiple high-visibility projects and external stakeholders with strong ownership, prioritization, and attention to detail.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles—Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team—as we scale globally and across new offices.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 4+ years of experience in partner marketing, B2B marketing, product marketing, alliances, or related program management roles.

• Strong cross-functional project and program management skills, including the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
• Data-informed approach to decision-making, with experience defining success metrics and using performance insights to improve programs.
