Sales enablement manager, ramp & onboarding

📐 About this role

We are committed to building the best field organization in AI. We work with some of the biggest Enterprise organizations who count on us to help them navigate a very dynamic landscape and realize the potential of AI within their organizations. 

In order to achieve this, we’re looking for an enablement manager who can design, develop, and deliver a phenomenal onboarding experience that allows our customer-facing colleagues to hit the ground running. We’re looking for someone who is focused on outcomes, not just output. You’re just as obsessed with driving ramp graduation metrics as you are with designing the intricacies of your training modules. You believe in creating engaging experiences that allow your learners to practice and improve. You’re constantly learning and refining without anyone asking you to. 

What’s in it for you

It’s an incredibly dynamic role — you’ll jump from highly stimulating topics that span high-level GTM strategy, new product capabilities, and new enablement priorities. You’ll lead key projects that are directly tied to impact. You’ll work on a team that gives you a high degree of autonomy, trusts your intuition, and invests in your growth. We're action and impact oriented. We value high-quality execution and strive to create a working environment that allows you to move fast and learn.  For someone self-motivated and with a problem-solving mindset, you’ll find a greenfield opportunity. You’ll own and scale out a ramp program that's one of the best in SaaS, one that you can be proud of. There'll be opportunities to build horizontally through cross-functional initiatives as well as vertically as you become a trusted advisor across our organization.
