Job description

About Pillar

Pillar is an Italian startup founded on February 13, 2025. In less than a year, we raised €15.2 million to revolutionize the construction industry, and we are growing fast. Our mission is to rebuild its foundations. Our ambition is to manage 1 in 3 construction sites in Europe. We are Italian, but with a European vision

The Italian construction industry is the backbone of the country's economy, involving nearly 5 million people, yet it is still managed with outdated tools.

Pillar was built to solve this problem at its root. We have built an all-in-one platform that allows construction companies to oversee every job site, monitor profitability in real time.

The Mission

Build the enablement system that helps AEs, BDRs, SDRs and Field Sales learn faster, sell better, and reach quota sooner in every market Pillar enters.

Reporting to the VP Sales, you will operate as a senior individual contributor and program owner: setting priorities, designing solutions, aligning stakeholders, and driving execution and continuous improvement across Sales Enablement.

What you will do

• Design and own onboarding, ramp-up, and continuous learning for AEs, BDRs, SDRs, and Field Sales.

• Build certification paths that assess product knowledge, discovery quality, objection handling, and positioning skills.

• Translate product releases and AI capabilities into value propositions, talk tracks, demo narratives, and sellable use cases.

• Create and maintain a single source of truth for playbooks, content, materials, and certification assets.

• Partner with RevOps to define and monitor ramp time, adoption, productivity, conversion, and quota attainment.

• Interview Sales leaders and reps to identify enablement gaps, priorities, and barriers to performance.

• Localize onboarding and training by language, market, buyer profile, and competitive dynamics.

• Facilitate workshops, working sessions, kickoffs, and governance meetings with the team and Leadership.

• Drive adoption of agreed best practices by observing what is actually used and intervening when behavior does not change.

• Evaluate and implement tools that track knowledge, certification, and real-world application.

What You'll Bring

Commercial credibility, systems thinking, and execution

• You have at least 2 years of experience in a SaaS or Tech environment.

• You have at least 2 years of direct selling experience and understand quota, pipeline, forecasting, discovery, and closing from the inside.

• You have designed or owned onboarding, training, Sales Enablement, or commercial improvement programs.

• You can turn loosely defined problems into priorities, project plans, deliverables, and metrics.

• You can facilitate effective sessions and communicate clearly with Sales reps, managers, and senior stakeholders.

• You can influence without formal authority and drive the adoption of new behaviors. You can run multiple initiatives in parallel without losing ownership, pace, or quality.

• You are fluent in written and spoken English and Italian. Additional European languages are a plus.

Extra Points if you have

• Experience supporting global or multi-market Sales teams.

• Experience in a high-growth SaaS or fintech startup.

• Familiarity with construction tech, real estate, or B2B software for SMEs.

• Hands-on experience with HubSpot, Notion, Slack, and enablement or certification tools

How we work at Pillar

Ambition, ownership and continuous improvement

At Pillar, everyone rows in the same direction: when one person accelerates, the whole team moves faster.

We are ambitious and growing quickly. We continuously raise the bar and take full responsibility for our work.

Our processes exist, but they still need to be tested and improved. People joining today will not find everything already built. They will help define how our Sales team learns, sells, and scales tomorrow.

Pillar is not for you if you only want to deliver training, need rigid boundaries, measure success by the number of assets produced, or prefer to wait until every stakeholder is already aligned.

What we offer

• 40-50k + bonus (cap 10K)

• The opportunity to build Sales Enablement from the ground up in a well-funded, fast-growing startup.

• Real responsibility and autonomy from day one.

• Direct exposure to the Founders, VP Sales, and Leadership team.

• An international, collaborative team as Pillar enters new markets.

• A fast-evolving product and complex problems where your impact will be visible.

• A role based in Milan or Barcelona, under Pillar’s applicable working model.

Our Hiring Process

1. Initial conversation alongside our Talent Acquisition specialists.

2. Brief 30-45 min interview with a member of the Marketing Team.

3. A final chat with our VP of Growth.

One last thing

Many companies hire Sales Enablement after their processes, markets, and playbooks have already been built.

Pillar is hiring this person while all of that is still taking shape.

Build the system behind the scale.
