We’re looking for someone who understands what it takes to be successful in the field — someone who enjoys coaching technical sellers, can quickly turn product knowledge into practical enablement, and embraces AI to make learning more scalable, personalized, and impactful.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deliver technical onboarding and ongoing enablement for Sales, Renewals, and Solutions Engineering teams.
• Partner with Solutions Engineers, Product Managers, Product Marketing, and SMEs to create practical, field-ready technical enablement.

• Measure program effectiveness using learner feedback, adoption metrics, and business outcomes.
• Partner cross-functionally to identify readiness gaps and continuously improve technical enablement.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience as a Solutions Engineer, Technical Enablement professional, Technical Trainer, Customer Success Engineer, or similar customer-facing technical role.
• Demonstrated ability to coach technical professionals and help them improve customer conversations, demos, and technical presentations.
• Experience partnering with technical subject matter experts to rapidly develop practical enablement content.
• Strong facilitation, presentation, and communication skills with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts.
• Experience using AI tools to improve content creation, knowledge management, coaching, learning experiences, or operational efficiency.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced product environment where priorities shift and new technologies are introduced frequently.
• Experience with enterprise software, SaaS, observability, IT operations, networking, systems management, or cybersecurity is preferred.

Preferred Skills

• Field experience supporting customer-facing teams and understanding what drives their success.
• Proven ability to coach, mentor, and develop others.
• Strong balance of technical depth and business acumen, with the ability to make complex topics practical and actionable.
• Interest in AI and experience using it to improve enablement efficiency, effectiveness, and learner engagement.
• Collaborative, resourceful, and execution-oriented, with a bias toward action over process
