About the Role

As the Sales Enablement Manager - Enterprise & Strategic Sales, you’ll be responsible for driving seller performance by equipping quota-carrying Account Executives with the tools, skills, and coaching needed to ramp quickly, sell effectively, and consistently exceed quota. You’ll work closely with Sales Leadership, RevOps, Marketing, and Product teams to create programs that accelerate onboarding, improve sales process execution, and embed best-in-class coaching into the daily flow of work. Focusing on our Enterprise and Strategic segments, you’ll work with the account teams that support the world’s largest companies and contact centers globally.

This is a strategic role that starts with making a direct day to day impact on Sales Reps—you’ll help drive revenue by improving the quality and consistency of every seller on the team.

  • Coaching & Performance Programs: Deliver regular training, role-plays, and feedback loops that improve seller execution. Provide direct coaching to reps 1-1 and via Gong, particularly during ramp periods.
  • Content & Messaging Alignment: Collaborate with Product Marketing to equip sellers with effective talk tracks, competitive positioning, objection handling, and value messaging tailored to personas and verticals.
  • Enablement Measurement & Optimization: Track and report on enablement program effectiveness using metrics such as ramp time, quota attainment, win rate, and sales velocity. Use insights to continuously refine our approach.
  • Field Readiness: Lead sales readiness efforts for product launches, pricing updates, and new market entries. Ensure sellers are confident and capable of executing in front of customers.
  • Direct Deal Involvement: in addition to direct 1-1 coaching, you should be fully prepared to provide direct deal support to ramping reps, either in the form of deal strategy, meeting prep, or ride-alongs to support newer reps.
