Senior Director, Sales Enablement

Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced, innovative enablement leader with a track record of building and scaling global sales, customer success, and channel enablement programs at large, high-tech companies, preferably in SaaS. You are passionate about improving the performance of people and teams, and you bring both the strategic vision and operational discipline to make it happen.

In this role, you will lead an organization of 50+ geographically dispersed enablement professionals spanning program management, learning & development, events & training, and coaching. You will own the full stack of field-facing enablement—taking existing programs and building them into broader programmatic solutions, while continuously raising the bar with new approaches. This includes harnessing AI and modern enablement technology to personalize learning, scale content production, and give every seller faster access to the right knowledge at the right moment. Your team ensures that every seller, customer success manager, and channel partner is equipped to engage confidently and effectively across the entire customer lifecycle.

If you are a proven enablement leader with the vision and experience to build world-class, customer-centric programs in a global SaaS company, this is the home for you.
