Full Job Description
What You'll Do

As one of the first hires in this new function, you will own the end-to-end commercial enablement strategy. You will translate our global GTM strategy into practical, seller-ready tools that drive measurable revenue productivity.

Own the Curriculum: Design and manage the onboarding journey and continuous learning pathways for our sales and account management teams. You'll ensure our reps aren't just "trained" but are truly accredited and driving outcomes.

The Tooling Guru: Drive the adoption and best-practice usage of a world-class tech stack, including Gong, Avarra (AI coaching), and UserGems. You'll diagnose adoption gaps and fix them.

Bridge Product & Sales: Act as the primary link between our Product teams and the frontline. When a new feature drops, you ensure the sales team knows exactly how to position it to prospect and existing clients.

Manager-Led Reinforcement: Empower our frontline managers with "train-the-trainer" models, giving them the coaching frameworks they need to lead high-performing teams.

The Background: You bring a proven track record in a frontline commercial roles (Sales or Account Management), allowing you to walk your talk.

Enablement Expertise: Deep experience in Sales Enablement, Commercial Training, or Revenue Productivity, ideally within SaaS, Market Intelligence, or Content Subscription.

Influencing Power: You can work "up and down"-collaborating with C-suite stakeholders one hour and coaching a new junior associate the next.

The "Diagnostic" Mindset: You don't just see a lack of tool usage or training as a problem; you investigate the why and create the solution to change behaviours.

Tech Savvy: Familiarity with Gong or similar conversation intelligence platforms is highly beneficial. You are comfortable leveraging AI-enabled selling workflows to gain an edge.

A Blank Canvas: As the first hire in this function, you will shape our enablement strategy and work hand-in-hand with commercial leadership to ensure "what good looks like" is a reality, not just an aspiration.
