Senior Manager, Gtm Enablement

Calendly Calendly · Enterprise · Remote · Customer Experience

This role is for a Senior Manager of GTM Enablement at Calendly. The primary focus is on designing and delivering enablement programs for Sales, Customer Success, and Support teams. While the role involves building AI-native enablement experiences and leveraging AI tools for coaching and QA, the core function is not AI/ML development but rather enabling go-to-market teams within an enterprise AI company. The role requires a builder's mindset, experience in SaaS GTM enablement, team management, and a strong understanding of enablement technology.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and deliver full-lifecycle enablement programs (onboarding, product training, skill-building, and ongoing process training) across our Sales & Customer Success and 24/7 Support organizations
  2. Lead and develop your team of two as a player-coach, building and delivering programs yourself while delegating, mentoring, and raising the bar for the team
  3. Define repeatable operating playbooks and program cadences for GTM initiatives (launches, operational changes, vertical programs), partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Support, Product Marketing, GTM Ops, and Product
  4. Own release and launch readiness for all customer-facing teams, defining the activities, workflows, and deliverables (trainings, documentation, etc.) tied to each release tier and playbook, in partnership with Product and Product Marketing
  5. Own and build out Calendly's GTM coaching and quality programs — including a Sales coaching program leveraging tools like Gong and a Support QA program with a focus on auto-QA
