About the Legal Team
Samsara’s Legal team strives to create value and ensure our mission by providing accessible and business‑oriented legal guidance. We do so through creative problem solving, excellence and transparency in execution, and by exhibiting good judgment in providing ethical and empathetic partnership across the business.
Senior Legal Counsel – Europe
Samsara is searching for a versatile Senior Legal Counsel to join our Legal team in Europe. You will support the growth of our business in Europe and collaborate closely with functions across the company on commercial and general legal matters in Europe. In this role, you will independently execute complex commercial matters with appropriate speed, drive, and focus, leading the negotiation and closing of strategic customer, partner, and vendor agreements while developing and refining scalable playbooks and workflows for commercial contracting across the region.
While this role will predominantly focus on supporting commercial contracts and workflows, you may also support adjacent legal workstreams (local privacy, employment, regulatory, corporate, product, compliance) as needed for our growing European operations. You will proactively identify and address complex risks and help design cross‑functional processes that enable the business to move quickly while managing exposure.
The successful candidate will bring deep experience in European commercial contracting, sound judgment and discretion, and will act as a force multiplier by building strong relationships with senior cross‑functional stakeholders, meeting them where they are, and taking ownership of ambiguous goals to drive high‑impact, business‑oriented outcomes.
Our most successful team members excel in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment and can drive projects of varying complexity in collaboration with multiple teams. They embrace new challenges, distill their analysis into actionable guidance, and assist colleagues on any project, large or small, regardless of scope.
