Senior Training Specialist
About the role
Do you want to join a dynamic, creative team? Samsara's Customer & Partner Education team is looking for a trainer to help us scale our reach and customer support globally. As a Sr. Technical Trainer focused primarily on our Scale segment (i.e. Commercial and Mid-market accounts), you'll help thousands of customers derive immediate value from our connected operations platform. Across one:many digital programs, live webinars, and cohort-based training sessions, you'll guide customers through structured learning journeys, make complex platform concepts accessible and actionable, and ensure success at every stage of their journey — across transportation, construction, field services, and the many other industries Samsara serves.
Responsibilities
- Build, deliver and facilitate cohort-based one:many programs for customers, guiding groups through structured learning journeys from onboarding through advanced product adoption
- Design new, innovative experiences tying together physical and digital assets to live sessions and/or Community experiences
- Produce new and leverage existing training materials in accordance with team standards and brand guidelines; adapt existing materials to reflect product changes and audience needs
- Proactively leverage in-house and external tools and platforms to optimize the training you deliver (e.g., Samsara Community, in-house AI tools; Slido)
- Demonstrate expertise across the Samsara platform and show confidence in fielding a wide range of customer questions during live sessions
- Manage all live session logistics, including training registration, session delivery, Q&A facilitation, polling, and post-session follow-up resources
- Collaborate closely with the CS Scale as well as the rest of the Education team to shape content for live training and share customer feedback from training events
- Identify common knowledge gaps across the Scale customer base and partner with Customer Success and Product teams to address them through programming
Requirements
- Excellent communication, presentation, and facilitation skills. You make complex platform concepts clear and compelling for large, diverse audiences, both in your verbal delivery and in the materials you produce.
- Demonstrated experience delivering at-scale programs and live webinars or vILT to external audiences.
- Excellent interpersonal skills. You're dynamic and enthusiastic, and you connect well with people at any level of an organization.
- Able to build digital learning assets when needed, e.g., video tutorials, job aids, and presentation decks, using AI models, authoring and editing tools.
- A working grasp of instructional design: you structure content around clear learning objectives and can help shape a program, not just deliver it.
- Self-directed and analytical. You can teach yourself new products and tools quickly and assess what customers most need to know.
- Ability to analyze engagement and impact data, then iterate on your content to improve what's working and fix what isn't.
- Strong prioritization skills. You handle multiple programs and sessions concurrently while staying organized, methodical, and detail-oriented.
- An eye for detail and polish in everything you produce.
- Comfortable working independently and as part of a team.
- 3–4 years of experience teaching or delivering training, with at least 1 year in a one-to-many or scaled delivery model.
Qualifications
- Familiarity with webinar and virtual classroom platforms and tools
- Experience with LMS and Community platforms, and customer education content development tools
- Background in SaaS product training
