Overview:
SailPoint is seeking a highly motivated, innovative, and results-oriented Sales Enablement Manager to join our dynamic global Sales Enablement team within the rapidly evolving identity security market. This is a pivotal role focused on driving behavioral change within our sales organization and broader deal teams, enabling them to consistently execute complex sales cycles and achieve ambitious targets.
As a Sales Enablement Manager, you will be instrumental in advancing our enablement maturity curve by designing and implementing systematic and programmatic initiatives that empower our teams with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to succeed. You will be adept at engaging with stakeholders at all levels, from executive leadership to individual contributors, articulating the value of enablement to intrinsically motivate participation and drive desired outcomes.
This role requires a deep understanding of complex sales cycles, the nuances of multi-threaded selling to strategic champions, and the importance of a "high and wide" approach within enterprise organizations. You will be a process-oriented individual with a strong grasp of the technology landscape required for effective sales training and enablement.
Collaboration is key, as you will work closely with a talented team of global sales enablers, supporting both strategic and enterprise sales segments, and understanding the critical role of the entire deal team – from DSRs to CSMs – in delivering exceptional customer experiences and achieving company goals. Crucially, we are looking for someone who is inherently savvy and consistently seeks out opportunities to drive efficiency within enablement. This necessitates thinking outside the box, strategically leveraging AI-powered tools and methodologies, and operating as a massive team player. The ability to effectively read people and understand their individual needs, underpinned by exceptional emotional intelligence, is considered a core differentiator for success in this role.
Programmatic Excellence: Develop and execute systematic and programmatic enablement initiatives aligned with sales priorities, operational excellence best practices, product launches, and market trends within the identity security space.
Stakeholder Engagement: Effectively communicate and collaborate with high-level stakeholders (Sales Leadership, Product Marketing, etc.) and individual contributors to understand needs, gain buy-in, and drive program adoption.
AI Leverage: Explore, evaluate, and strategically implement AI tools and technologies to optimize content creation, personalize learning experiences, automate administrative tasks, and enhance overall enablement effectiveness.
Team Player Mentality: Collaborate effectively and proactively with the global enablement team, sharing best practices, contributing to team goals, and fostering a supportive and high-performing environment.
Emotional Intelligence: Utilize exceptional emotional intelligence to understand individual learning styles, motivations, and challenges, tailoring enablement approaches for maximum impact and building strong rapport with stakeholders.
Enablement Technology Proficiency: Leverage and optimize various sales enablement tools and technologies (e.g., LMS, sales content platforms, CRM integrations, communication tools) to deliver effective and engaging learning experiences.
Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Sales, Marketing, Education, or a related field.
Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in sales enablement, sales training, or a related role within a B2B technology environment, preferably within the identity security space.
Experience working within a global sales organization is a plus.
Familiarity with the identity security landscape and its key concepts is highly desirable.
