  • Stakeholder Management: Work cross functionally with data, technology and business user teams to drive the development roadmap, launching and iterating the innovative solutions within AI powered measurement.

Responsibilities

  • Prove the Impact: Transition the organization from assuming enablement works to rigorously proving how it accelerates seller behaviors and business outcomes.
  • Measure What Matters: Deliver a holistic view of readiness that encompasses skills, performance, and impact, ensuring actionable insights for both sellers and executive leaders.
  • Drive Global Alignment: Lead a cross-functional community of practice across Sales Strategy, Technology, and Enablement to ensure the performance roadmap aligns with enterprise goals.

  • Mindset: A decisive, action-oriented leader with the intellectual curiosity to continuously evolve the performance and analytics function into a true Center of Excellence
  • Data Fluency & Analytical Interpretation: Advanced proficiency in leveraging industry-standard analytical tools (e.g., SQL, Tableau, Power BI) to manipulate large datasets
  • Strategic Communication: Proven ability to translate complex analytical models into compelling, high-level narratives for executive stakeholders and "Executive Packs" for standardization.
  • Influence & Stakeholder Management: Exceptional ability to influence resources without direct reporting lines and navigate complex global organizations.
