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.
About the role:
Samsara's Mid-Market Customer Success team advises and guides our customers, ensuring they adopt Samsara and continuously gain business value from our products. We are the trusted point of contact for Samsara's Mid-Market customers throughout their lifecycle: onboarding, adoption, advocacy, and renewal.
In this role, you will be part of our Implementation team, responsible for helping Mid-Market customers deploy and adopt our IoT solutions for their fleet and industrial assets. Picking up where our sales teams leave off, you will own the customer relationship and ensure a successful deployment of Samsara's solution. Your customers span the entire range of businesses that power our economy, including trucking and transportation, food and beverage, passenger transit, utilities, school buses, and many others. All the while building relationships with the customer, helping them learn our system and overall ensuring a successful customer relationship.
Your role will be cross-functional in nature, working alongside and connecting Sales, Support, Sales Engineering, and Product, enabling you to experience multiple aspects of a fast-growing company from within.
This role requires exceptional customer-facing communication skills, the ability to quickly understand a customer's business, and comfort explaining technology products to both executives and day-to-day users.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area.
You should apply if:
- You want to impact the industries that run our world: Every phone call you answer and every email you send can affect whether truck drivers deliver goods on time and without accidents, whether students get dropped off safely from school, or whether power gets restored quickly after a natural disaster.
- You thrive the most when solving problems: Our constantly expanding technology and the complexities faced by our customers provide an exciting range of challenges for our Customer Success teams. With a growth mindset and a desire to learn, you will strategically partner with our customers to find unique solutions to help keep their operations safe, efficient, and sustainable.
- You are a natural relationship builder: Whether the relationship is with our customers or with cross-functional teams in Samsara, you are in constant communication and collaboration with key stakeholders to win as a team.
- You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won't be your last at Samsara. This Customer Success team is still shaping its future and you will have plenty of autonomy and opportunities to master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
- You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by the best and brightest professionals out there.
In this role, you will:
- Be on the front-lines and ensure our customers increase the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations with our IoT platform.
- Manage the deployment of Samsara technology to Mid-Market customers, enabling customers to achieve quick time to value in their investment.
- Create launch plans and a roadmap to increase product usage.
- Track implementation progress, participation, product adoption, and account health.
- Run training sessions, demonstrate Samsara's technology, and work through challenges with executives and day-to-day users of the system across numerous use cases.
- Juggle multiple customer engagements in parallel and work cross-functionally to deliver an exceptional experience for our customers.
- Deeply understand the Samsara platform's capabilities and explain them to customers of all types.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 2-4 years of experience in a senior Customer Success, account management, or strategic consulting role. Mid-Market SaaS experience preferred.

- Proven track record of building trust and communicating effectively with a wide variety of stakeholders: executives, Product and Engineering leadership, day-to-day users of our software.
- Diplomacy, tact, and poise under pressure when working through customer issues.
- Bachelor's degree from a 4-year institution.
An ideal candidate also:

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship as an Implementation Consultant
Target consulting firms with established visa programs
Large enterprise software consultancies, including those in the SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce ecosystems, regularly sponsor H-1B visas. Prioritize companies with dedicated HR teams over startups, where sponsorship infrastructure is typically more reliable and well-documented.
Frame your degree as a specialty occupation match
USCIS requires a direct link between your degree field and the role. Emphasize coursework in business systems, data analysis, or software if your degree is in information systems, computer science, or business administration. Generic degrees invite more scrutiny.
Start STEM OPT extension paperwork 90 days early
If your degree qualifies for STEM OPT, file your I-765 extension at least 90 days before your current EAD expires. A late filing puts your work authorization at risk and creates serious complications for your employer.
Ask about H-1B sponsorship before accepting an offer
Raise the sponsorship question during the offer stage, not after signing. Ask specifically whether the company has sponsored H-1B visas in the past two years and whether your role would qualify. Vague answers are a warning sign worth pressing on.
Document your client-facing and technical contributions
Implementation roles often involve both business process work and technical configuration. Keep a running record of both dimensions, since a stronger technical component makes your specialty occupation case more defensible during H-1B adjudication.
Use your OPT period to build domain expertise in one platform
Employers sponsor consultants with deep, demonstrable expertise far more readily than generalists. Pursue a platform certification, such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, or Workday, during your OPT window to sharpen your H-1B candidacy and differentiate yourself.
Implementation Consultant OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Implementation Consultant roles qualify as specialty occupations for H-1B sponsorship?
Most do, but the job description matters. USCIS looks for a direct connection between the role and a specific bachelor's degree field. Roles involving ERP configuration, CRM implementation, or enterprise software deployment typically qualify when the position requires a degree in information systems, computer science, or business. Generic consultant titles with no technical component face more scrutiny.
Can I work as an Implementation Consultant on F-1 OPT without any special authorization?
Yes. Your OPT Employment Authorization Document (EAD) lets you work for any employer in a role related to your degree field. Implementation consulting typically satisfies this requirement if your degree is in a related discipline. You don't need employer sponsorship to start working during OPT, though you'll want sponsorship secured well before your EAD expires.
Where can I find Implementation Consultant jobs that are open to OPT candidates?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for F-1 OPT students and filters for employers willing to work with OPT work authorization. Rather than filtering through thousands of postings where OPT status is unclear, Migrate Mate surfaces roles where sponsorship willingness is already part of the picture, saving you the frustration of applying to positions that will screen you out.
What happens to my OPT status if I'm placed at a client site rather than the employer's office?
Client-site placement is common in consulting and is generally fine under OPT rules, as long as your employment relationship remains with your sponsoring employer, not the client. Your employer should be issuing your paycheck, managing your work, and listed as your employer on your EAD application. Staffing arrangements where the client controls your day-to-day work can create compliance issues worth clarifying upfront.
Does STEM OPT apply to Implementation Consultant roles?
It can, if your underlying degree is on the STEM Designated Degree Program List. Degrees in computer science, information systems, and management information systems commonly qualify. The role itself also needs to meet STEM OPT training plan requirements, and your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify. Consulting firms at major software platforms often meet all three conditions, making STEM OPT extension realistic for many candidates.
