This is a remote position open to candidates residing in Mexico.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.

In this role, you will: 

• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to conduct needs analyses and scope learning initiatives that align with business objectives and timelines.
• Design creative, engaging training solutions across Global Support functions and audiences—including technical, non-technical, and leadership roles.
• Develop written course content (e.g., facilitation guides, video scripts, learning activities, and assessments) and create learning assets in a variety of media formats (e.g., elearning, video, audio, workshops, and hands-on exercises).
• Leverage AI-native tools and emerging technologies to accelerate content development and tailor learning experiences to dynamic business needs.
• Collect feedback from stakeholders and subject matter experts to iterate and finalize training materials.
• Use data to evaluate training effectiveness and drive continuous improvement.
• Provide constructive feedback to peers to uphold high-quality standards across content.
• Champion and model 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.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 5+ years of instructional design experience, preferably supporting global customer support teams (e.g., frontline agents, technical specialists, and support leaders).
• Proven ability to learn and translate complex support tools and processes into clear, engaging training across multiple formats (elearning, video, SOPs, role-based scenarios, etc.).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in both English & Spanish, with a focus on simplifying technical concepts for diverse audiences.
• Experience using Learning Management Systems and familiarity with tools used to create and deliver scalable training.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to connect learning outcomes to support KPIs (e.g., CSAT, resolution time, deflection), and iterate based on data.
• Comfortable using or exploring AI tools to enhance training development, personalization, or automation.
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong organizational skills with a track record of managing multiple initiatives at once.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience in a high-growth SaaS environment with a proven ability to adapt learning programs to evolving products and support models.
• Familiarity and curiosity for using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Synthesia, Descript) to develop or iterate on learning content in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Instructional design certifications or advanced education in learning sciences, technical communication, or a related field.
