Description

Overview of the Role

The Data Foundation Sales Productivity team’s mission is to improve seller productivity, accelerate new hire ramp, and enable sustainable growth by delivering targeted, high-impact enablement that drives real business outcomes.

We are seeking a Manager-level Enablement & Sales Programs Business Partner to support the Platform Operating Unit (OU) across AMER/EMEA/LATAM. This role is a strategic partner to AVP-level Sales Leaders, acting as the connective tissue between global priorities, regional business needs, and field execution. This individual contributor will operate at both strategic and executional levels: translating global initiatives into meaningful local impact, while proactively identifying regional opportunities and designing OU-specific enablement solutions. This role will also be responsible to design and execute targeted sales programming to impact business performance. Success in this role requires strong business acumen, a data-driven mindset, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a dynamic environment.

Responsibilities

Strategic Partnership & Business Insight

  • Act as a trusted strategic partner to AVP Sales leaders for the Platform OU, embedding yourself in the business to understand priorities, challenges, and performance drivers.
  • Diagnose business needs using both qualitative insight and quantitative analysis, proactively identifying opportunities where enablement and sales programs can improve productivity, pipeline generation, and execution.
  • Bring a point of view to leadership conversations, influencing decisions through data, insight, and thoughtful recommendations.

Enablement & Sales Programs Strategy & Execution

  • Understand and translate global enablement and sales programs initiatives into targeted, high-quality execution for the Platform OU, ensuring relevance, clarity, and strong adoption.
  • Design and deliver OU-specific enablement and sales programs initiatives that address market maturity and seller needs, while staying aligned to broader business priorities.
  • Balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, ensuring enablement and sales programs are delivered with consistency, quality, and measurable impact.

Seller Productivity & New Hire Acceleration

  • Support seller productivity across the full lifecycle, with particular focus on accelerating new hire ramp and early productivity.
  • Partner on onboarding experiences and reinforcement strategies to ensure sellers are enabled to succeed quickly and sustainably.
  • Identify best practices and scale learnings across OUs and the wider INTL organization where appropriate.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with distribution, marketing and other operational teams (Strategy & Global Sales Programs) to deliver cohesive, end-to-end enablement solutions.
  • Act as a connector across functions, aligning efforts to ensure sellers receive clear, consistent messaging and support.

Measurement, Feedback & Continuous Improvement

  • Define success metrics for enablement initiatives and leverage data to assess impact on productivity, ramp, and business performance.
  • Use insights and feedback from the field to iterate, improve, and evolve enablement approaches over time.
  • Stay curious and innovative, continuously exploring new ways to improve enablement effectiveness in a rapidly changing environment.

Minimum Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience in sales enablement, sales strategy, sales operations, or sales leadership, ideally within a high-growth enterprise SaaS environment.
  • Experience partnering with senior sales leaders (AVP-level or above) and influencing outcomes without direct authority.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into clear insights, recommendations, and actions.
  • Proven ability to own and execute high-quality programs while also contributing strategic thinking to the overall enablement plan.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, with the ability to adjust priorities and approaches as business needs evolve.
  • Highly collaborative, with a track record of working cross-functionally across sales, operations, and customer-facing teams.
  • Curious, innovative, and open to feedback, with a strong growth mindset and desire to continuously learn and improve.
  • Confident communicator with strong executive presence, comfortable presenting to both senior leaders and field teams.
  • Ability to travel as required.
