- Support the rollout of the global Sales Manager Enablement program, customizing tools and resources to drive local leadership effectiveness.
- New Hire Onboarding & Ramp - Partner with New Hire Training, People Ops, Sales Managers, and Subject Matter Experts to deliver role-specific onboarding that drives ramp readiness.
- Help track onboarding progress, gather feedback, and iterate to improve experience and effectiveness over time.Cross-Functional Collaboration - Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, Product, and RevOps to support product launches, process changes, and go-to-market initiatives in APJ.
- Program Insights & Optimization - Monitor engagement, adoption, and feedback on enablement programs in APJ.
- Leverage data and field insight to continuously improve regional execution and influence global program design.
What You Bring:
- 5+ years of experience in sales enablement, field marketing, sales operations, or a customer-facing role in a B2B SaaS environment.
- Deep familiarity with the APJ region, including local business norms, sales behaviors, and cultural nuances.
- Experience facilitating or delivering training and onboarding programs for adult learners.
- Strong understanding of sales processes, onboarding, and tools such as CRM systems, LMS platforms, and Gong.
- Excellent cross-functional communication and organizational skills.
- A collaborative mindset, attention to detail, and comfort working independently across time zones.
