Job description

We're looking for a detail-obsessed, media-savvy Sales Enablement Lead to keep our advertising sales teams running efficiently.

You'll be supporting advertising sales teams across the full Torstar portfolio - including the Toronto Star, Metroland Media Group, and specialty brands like The Kit, Canadian Immigrant, TravelAlerts, Save.ca, and more. That means managing sales materials and go-to-market execution across diverse audiences, advertising products, and content categories - from community news to lifestyle, sports, travel, and beyond.

Your job is to make sure every seller has the right materials at the right time to walk into a pitch confidently.

This role is also a meaningful opportunity to shape how we work. We expect the right candidate to actively use AI tools to streamline workflows, accelerate content production, and reduce manual effort - not occasionally, but as a regular part of how they get things done.

This is not a strategy role. It's the role for someone who gets genuine satisfaction from a perfectly organized asset library, a polished pitch deck, and a sales team that can find what they need in under 60 seconds.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the sales asset library - Maintain and organize pitch decks, one-sheets, case studies, and external-facing sales pages across the full Torstar brand portfolio. Keep everything brand-compliant, current, and findable. Use AI tools to automate updates, flag outdated content, and speed up production.
• Coordinate go-to-market launches - Manage the GTM process alongside product leads to ensure sales teams are fully equipped before any product rollout.
• Run internal sales communications - Draft and distribute internal updates, coordinate department-wide meeting logistics, and keep sellers aligned. Use AI to improve turnaround time and consistency of communications.
• Support sales reporting - Track rep engagement by product, brand, or initiative to help identify training gaps and inform enablement priorities.
• Champion smarter ways of working - Proactively identify where AI tools can replace manual, repetitive tasks within the enablement function and implement those improvements. Share what's working with the broader team.

This is a temporary 12 month contract position

Qualifications

Experience (Required)

• 2–4 years of experience in advertising sales support, marketing coordination, or sales operations — ideally within a media, publishing, or digital advertising environment
• Demonstrated experience building and formatting client-ready PowerPoint/Google Slides decks
• Familiarity with digital advertising sales cycles (display, programmatic, branded content, or similar)
• Hands-on, regular use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or similar) to improve personal productivity or team workflows

Experience (Nice to Have)

• Exposure to CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce) or sales enablement tools (e.g., Seismic, Highspot, Showpad)
• Experience with project tracking methodology
• Experience supporting multiple brands or business units simultaneously
• Experience building AI-assisted workflows or prompts in a professional setting

Skills:

• Exceptional organizational skills - you manage competing deadlines and multiple brand priorities without dropping details
• Strong written communication - clear, concise, and professional for internal audiences
• Advanced PowerPoint and Excel proficiency (formatting, templates, basic data analysis)
• AI fluency - you don't wait to be told to try an AI tool; you experiment, evaluate, and implement
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities in a deadline-driven, multi-brand environment
