  • Establish and track enablement KPIs (e.g., ramp time, certification completion, productivity uplift, customer time to value, Academy engagement) and prepare executive-ready communications that frame progress, gaps, and investment asks for ELT and board audiences
IDEAL CANDIDATE

  • Familiarity with AI-powered enablement tooling (e.g., AI content creation, personalization engines, AI coaching) and a genuine enthusiasm for applying AI to enablement workflow)
  • Strategic thinker who operates fluently in executive conversations while staying close enough to the work to guide quality and execution; influences without authority and aligns diverse stakeholders around a shared vision
