This person is Samsara’s principal storyteller – taking what resonates in the market, competitive differentiation, executive talking points and translating that into an elegant and repeatable story told across the buyer journey. This person will build a narrative fabric with core materials like Samsara’s value framework and then deploy a cohesive message onto assets like Samsara’s pitch decks and quarterly updates. They will work across teams to build and execute content across Samsara’s platform portfolio, spanning data, automation, AI, and developer ecosystem capabilities.

• Strategic Narrative & Messaging

• Cross-Platform Storytelling & GTM Enablement
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing to ensure consistent messaging across go-to-market plans, launch briefs, pitches, and demos.
• Lead the creation of platform pitch decks, quarterly roadmap narratives, and executive-ready content that support business priorities.
• Executive & Field Support

• You are a strategic operator: You can connect the dots across product, sales, and marketing, turning customer insights into successful go-to-market strategies.
