Sales Enablement Lead

About Spark Advisors

We’re Spark, a mission-driven company helping independent Medicare brokers build the insurance business of their dreams. The vast majority of beneficiaries select benefits with the help of an independent broker, but technology and support for brokers is woefully antiquated. We provide workflows and services to help brokers achieve transformative growth.

In just four years, we’ve partnered with over 5,000 brokers and enrolled over 100,000 beneficiaries, making us the fastest-growing Medicare brokerage in the country. Brokers love us: during this period of intense growth, we’ve maintained an NPS of 91, a client retention rate of 93%, and we’ve helped brokers grow on average >100% since partnering with us.

It’s an exciting time to be at Spark. Our diverse, remote-first team comes from leading technology, healthcare, and insurance companies, and has grown from 40 to 70 in the last year. Most recently, we’ve raised a Series B from leading investors who share our ambition.

Join us: we’re always on the lookout for sharp, talented, empathetic teammates.

Summary

We’re looking for a Sales Enablement Lead to design, implement, and manage enablement programs to ensure our Strategic Growth Managers (SGMs) have the skills, resources, and tools to exceed their performance targets. This role will play a critical role in Spark’s go-to-market strategy and will have a direct impact on our future growth. 

Working with Sales Leadership, you will own the sales enablement program for new and established SGMs across the country. You will craft an end-to-end sales enablement curriculum, develop content and processes that appreciate different learning styles, and leverage certifications to measure effectiveness. You will be responsible for delivering the curriculum, reporting on its results and progress, and iterating as needed, especially as our sales team and product offering evolve.

As the connective tissue between sales and all cross-functional teams (e.g., Growth Operations, Marketing, Success, and Product), you’ll be responsible for keeping the sales team informed and trained on new releases along with regularly sharing feedback and insights from the sales team. 

The ideal candidate is a true team player, but will always anchor to the metrics and consistently hold the sales team to a high bar. You have tremendous content development skills and are thoughtful about the delivery given our diverse sales team. You’re passionate about sales, in general, and will be a real thought partner to Sales Leadership and cross-functional teams.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. 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.
