The Enablement Manager is an in-market, field-facing role focused on enabling successful delivery of SFU HOA communities and Greenfield SFU/MDU developments. This position serves as the โeyes and earsโ for Solutions Engineering and internal delivery teams, conducting site surveys, producing picture packages/field documentation, and building critical relationships with HOAs, municipalities, and developers. The Enablement Manager accelerates readiness, reduces friction, and improves stakeholder alignment by ensuring field realities, access requirements, and permitting constraints are understood early and communicated clearly across teams.
This role blends relationship management, field operations, documentation discipline, and cross functional coordination โ and is ideal for someone who thrives in the field and enjoys turning onโtheโground insight into scalable execution.
The Main Responsibilities
Act as Solutions Engineeringโs field liaison (โeyes in the fieldโ), validating assumptions, capturing constraints, and feeding actionable insights back to engineering and delivery teams.
Perform site surveys and field verification (access, pathways, obstructions, staging, safety considerations), ensuring consistent collection of data needed for planning and deployment.
Produce picture packages / field documentation (photo logs, annotated images, site notes) and maintain organized repositories to support engineering design, construction planning, and stakeholder communications.
Stakeholder & Relationship Management
Build and maintain relationships with HOA boards/property managers, becoming the trusted point of contact for field coordination, expectations, and issue resolution.
Establish and strengthen relationships with municipal stakeholders (ROW, permitting, planning, inspections), proactively reducing delays and improving coordination. (Local permitting often involves approvals and rightโofโway authorizations from municipal entities; managing these touchpoints helps reduce friction.)
Help identify, qualify, and maintain key contacts across HOAs, municipalities, and developer organizations; build influence networks that support smoother execution.
CrossโFunctional Coordination & Operational Rigor
Coordinate across internal teams (Solutions Engineering, Construction, PMO/Program Ops, Project Management, etc.) to ensure field findings translate into clear next steps, risk mitigation, updated plans, and assist other roles as needed.
Establish simple, repeatable field enablement processes (survey checklists, photo standards, reporting cadence) and continuously improve them based on stakeholder feedback and outcomes.
What We Look For in a Candidate
Forged Fiberโs culture is built on honesty, respect, trust, transparency, and a growth mindset. We strive to treat people as they want to be treated, and to operate with consistency, integrity, customer obsession, and courage. Weโre looking for top tier talent to join Forged Fiber that can help us bring this mindset to our everyday work and deliver meaningful results.
