Description
The Senior Manager, Revenue Enablement Performance is part of CDW's Revenue Enablement organization and is responsible for building and leading the revenue enablement performance function that serves as the face of Revenue Enablement to Sales, Services & Solutions leadership. This role manages Lead Revenue Enablement Performance Architects (PAs) who embed with business leaders, understand strategic priorities, diagnose performance and capability gaps, shape enablement strategies, and ensure Revenue Enablement delivers measurable business impact. This role operates as both the leader of the Revenue Enablement Performance function and as a senior-most Performance Architect. In addition to building and scaling CDW's Revenue Enablement Performance operating model, the role maintains direct responsibility for senior stakeholder relationships, business diagnosis, enablement strategy, and business outcome delivery for assigned areas of the business. This role ensures Revenue Enablement moves beyond reactive training intake and operates as a proactive, consultative partner to the field. The Senior Manager, Revenue Enablement Performance establishes the operating model, stakeholder engagement approach, portfolio awareness strategy, governance routines, and standards for how Performance Architects engage with senior leaders. The role requires executive presence, enablement expertise, commercial acumen, consultative problem solving, and the ability to coach Performance Architects who can operate like senior internal consultants. Success in this role depends on building a scalable Performance Architect model that helps business leaders identify the right problems, shape the right enablement response, leverage existing Revenue Enablement capabilities where appropriate, and measure whether solutions drive the intended outcomes.
