• Select and manage enablement content, playbooks, learning platforms, and related tools as needed.

• Document, standardize, and continuously improve core processes covering new‑logo sales, upsell/cross‑sell, and renewals.
• Maintain a centralized repository of current enablement content, templates, and playbooks.
• Define and track enablement KPIs including ramp time, quota attainment, win rate, forecast accuracy, and process adoption.
