Seller Productivity & New Hire Acceleration

  • Support seller productivity across the full lifecycle, with particular focus on accelerating new hire ramp and early productivity.

  • Partner on onboarding experiences and reinforcement strategies to ensure sellers are enabled to succeed quickly and sustainably.

  • Identify best practices and scale learnings across OUs and the wider INTL organization where appropriate.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with distribution, marketing and other operational teams (Strategy & Global Sales Programs) to deliver cohesive, end-to-end enablement solutions.
