We are seeking a visionary and execution-oriented Senir Director Sales Enablement to build, scale, and lead a world-class enablement function across a complex, global sales organization. This leader will manage a small team and be the central architect of how our Sales teams learn, develop, and perform while directly managing and developing a high-performance team of enablement professionals responsible for delivering impactful learning programs, sales readiness initiatives, and ongoing capability development. The role directly supports $500M+ in combined new business and renewal revenue across reference solutions and clinical decision support.

Sitting at the intersection of Sales, Marketing, Product, and Commercial Operations, this role is accountable for equipping every seller, from new hires to tenured enterprise reps, and every front-line manager with the knowledge, content, tools, and skills required to win in competitive, consultative healthcare and information markets. In addition to shaping the enablement strategy, the leader will coach, mentor, and inspire a small team, fostering a culture of innovation, operational excellence, and continuous learning to drive measurable commercial impact.

This position offers a unique opportunity to build organizational capability, influence executive stakeholders, and develop the next generation of sales talent while leading a dedicated enablement team that serves a global sales organization.

• Leverage conversation intelligence, CRM, and manager coaching data to identify skill gaps at individual, team, and segment levels and design targeted, measurable interventions.

• Drive systematic feedback loops from the field to central functions, surfacing market intelligence that improves messaging, content, and product positioning over time.
• Build and lead a high-performance, globally distributed Sales Enablement team - setting clear goals, developing talent, and fostering a data-driven, accountable culture.
• Operate as a working leader: directly design and deliver select high-impact programs - particularly flagship onboarding, manager certification, and strategic skill-building initiatives - while scaling delivery through the broader team.

• Have 12+ years of progressive experience in Sales Enablement, Sales Training, Revenue Enablement, or a closely related commercial function, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.

• Able to translate data and analytics into actionable insights, prioritized roadmaps, and executive-level narratives.
• Able to operate effectively in a matrixed, global organization - influencing senior stakeholders and driving outcomes without direct authority.
• Display outstanding communication, facilitation, and executive presence; equally effective presenting to the C-suite and running frontline training workshops.
