Description
We are looking for a high-energy, results-driven enablement leader to shape the future of Salesforce’s two fastest-growing and most transformative product lines: Agentforce and Data360. In this highly visible, impact-oriented role, you will be the strategic architect behind the readiness of our Global Specialist organization—comprising of Sales Specialists, Technical Architects, and Consumption Leads. You will serve as a trusted advisor to the EVP of Agentforce & Data 360 and senior Sales leadership, owning the design and execution of an end-to-end enablement strategy that delivers revenue growth. You will own the full seller lifecycle—from "Day 1" onboarding to continuous "everboarding." Combining expertise in adult learning and field enablement with a passion for AI and Data, you will bridge the gap between technical complexity and business value, driving the shift to a consumption-based sales model and building the engine that powers the "Agentic Era."

- Global Bootcamps: Lead the strategy and delivery of bi-annual Global Bootcamps to ensure specialized seller certification and readiness.
- Full Lifecycle Ownership: Manage the full learning lifecycle, from "Day 1" onboarding to continuous "everboarding" for seasoned professionals.
4. Scale & Cross-Functional Orchestration
- Hub & Spoke Model: Build global scale by partnering with Operating Unit (OU) Enablement Partners, designing core content centrally while empowering regions to localize execution.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner closely with Sales Strategy, Sales Programs, PMM, Field Readiness, and Product to deliver a unified message to the field.
5. Data-Driven Impact & Culture
- Measure Business Results: Move beyond activity metrics to analyze enablement impact on key business drivers, including pipeline creation, sales velocity, ACV, and NNAOV.
- Champion High-Performance Culture: Foster a culture of trust, curiosity, and inclusivity, building a highly engaged, results-oriented team aligned with core values.
