Strategic Sales Programs and Enablement Partner

Remote - United States

The role:

We’re hiring a high-impact partner for the Strategic Sales organization who will translate strategy into disciplined execution and scalable enablement. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Strategic Sales, you’ll act as the leader’s right hand — building and operating GTM playbooks, across multiple products, running strategic projects end-to-end, creating crisp enablement content, and driving cross-functional alignment so the Strategic Sales team spends more time selling and wins more deals.

This is a hands-on role for someone who combines operator instincts, excellent stakeholder management, and strong enablement craft (content + delivery + tooling).

Why you'll love this role: 

GTM playbooks & motions

  • Own the organization, packaging and distribution of product-specific and enterprise GTM playbooks so sellers know exactly what to do and when.
  • Keep playbooks living and measurable: define use cases, buyer personas, value props, objection charts, and sample talk tracks.

Strategic program management

  • Lead the execution of strategic GTM initiatives (e.g., new product motion, enterprise tooling rollout, territory/comp plan changes) from project plan → launch → adoption.
  • Define clear milestones, owners (RACI), risks, and dependencies; remove blockers and report progress to the Sr. Director.

Enablement content & training

  • In partnership with sales enablement, create executive-grade enablement materials (decks, job aids, playbooks, short video modules) that synthesize complex topics into field-ready guidance.
  • Partner with Sales Enablement, Product, Product Marketing and RevOps to build scalable learning experiences and launch plans.

Operational alignment & meeting hygiene

  • Translate key meeting outcomes into concise next steps, assign accountability, and follow up to ensure delivery.
  • Improve meeting efficiency, agendas, and cross-functional cadences across sales, product, marketing and CS.

Executive reporting & insights

  • Build, automate and deliver weekly Strategic Sales performance reporting for the Sr. Director, CRO and ELT, surfacing trends, risks, and recommended actions.
  • Maintain a central source of truth for Standards of Practice and operating procedures.

Why you're a great fit:

Must-have

  • 2–4 years experience in strategy & operations, sales enablement, program management, or chief-of-staff style roles within high-growth B2B SaaS (K-12 experience a plus).
  • Excellent project management instincts — runs projects to completion with clear RACI, timeline, and measurable outcomes (familiarity with RASCI best practices preferred).
  • Strong written & visual storytelling: executive decks, process docs, playbooks and short training modules.
  • Hands-on with CRM and reporting tools (Salesforce required; Tableau/Looker/GDS a plus) and comfortable building executive dashboards.
  • Comfortable using AI tools (prompting, templates, automation) to accelerate content production and scaling enablement.
  • High sense of ownership, urgency, and ability to influence without direct authority.

Nice-to-have

  • Experience building SSKO or seller onboarding programs and/or hosting live enablement sessions.
  • Familiarity with Sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC) and enablement platforms (Highspot/Showpad).
  • Experience partnering with enterprise sales leaders to improve pipeline generation, forecasting, and retention metrics.

Base compensation range:

Base salary: $95,000 - $105,000
On-target commission: $10,000
On-target earnings: $105,000 - $115,000

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
