At NerdWallet Small Business, we’re more than just a financial resource—we’re the go-to growth partner for small businesses ready to scale big. Our mission? To empower entrepreneurs with the tools, guidance, and tailored financial solutions they need to turn bold ideas into thriving businesses.

By blending proprietary technology with deep financial expertise, we deliver customized recommendations that drive smarter decisions, create more jobs, and strengthen the economy from the ground up.

We’re looking for a Sales Enablement Specialist who leads with data. This role is for someone who thrives on evaluating sales performance metrics, identifying patterns across the funnel, and translating insights into high-impact content, playbooks, and frameworks that drive measurable revenue growth.

Rather than focusing primarily on live deal coaching or onboarding enablement, this role centers on analyzing sales data, listening to calls, reviewing dashboards, and identifying performance gaps - then building scalable enablement solutions that improve close ratios, application conversion, and overall pipeline effectiveness.

If you excel at turning spreadsheets and call insights into actionable sales content that moves metrics, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Create High-Impact Deliverables

Own the full lifecycle of enablement assets — from diagnosis to delivery. Build structured, practical content that sellers can immediately apply in their day-to-day workflow.

Design Close Ratio Training Programs

• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to build clear, structured deliverables.

• Familiarity with tools such as Salesforce, Gong (or similar conversation intelligence), Highspot (or similar enablement platforms), and LMS systems.
