Job Requirements
- 10+ years of progressive experience in sales enablement, partner enablement, or channel program design within enterprise SaaS or cybersecurity organizations, with at least 3 years at the director level or equivalent
- Deep familiarity with indirect channel motions — reseller, distributor, and MSP partner ecosystems — and how to design enablement programs that land through those routes to market
- Demonstrated ability to build and scale both business seller and technical seller enablement programs for partner audiences, including role-based learning paths, certification frameworks, and technical readiness programs
- Hands-on experience deploying structured sales methodologies (Command of the Message, MEDDPICC, Value Selling, or equivalent) across partner organizations, with proven adoption and business impact
- Strong background in cybersecurity or data protection domains, with sufficient technical depth to build credible enablement for partner systems engineers and solution architects

- Experience evaluating and deploying AI-powered enablement technologies — including coaching automation, content personalization, and learning management platforms — to drive partner productivity and scale
- Strong executive presence and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence CRO, CMO, and Channel leadership through clear communication, data, and sound program design
- Demonstrated ability to measure enablement impact against business outcomes — partner-sourced pipeline, ramp-to-quota, win rates, and deal velocity — not just training completion rates
- Experience building partner enablement in a high-growth, rapidly evolving product environment where message discipline and field-readiness speed are competitive differentiators
