Job Summary

Are you passionate about the science of selling? Do you geek out on new strategies for embedding innovative, effective learning in the flow of work — and love turning strategy into programs the field can actually run with? Purple is looking for a creative, driven, and versatile Sales Enablement Manager to join our Wholesale team. This role blends deep training-content craft with broad enablement execution: you'll design engaging, effective learning while also owning launch enablement, field communications, incentive program support, and culture and recognition programs that keep our sales teams informed, motivated, and equipped to win. You'll partner closely with Sales Leadership, Product, Innovations, Marketing, and Operations to translate business goals into content strategies and field‑ready tools that empower both retail associates and internal wholesale teams to confidently sell mattresses and sleep-related products in a competitive market.

Job DescriptionEssential Duties & ResponsibilitiesTraining & Enablement Content

• Develop retail- and wholesale-focused content: Create engaging training materials — product knowledge guides, sales technique modules, interactive eLearning, videos, quick-reference tools, and customer interaction scenarios — tailored for both retail mattress sales associates and internal wholesale teams.
• Simplify the complex: Translate technical product features (materials, sleep technologies, warranty terms) into compelling, easy-to-understand content that resonates with frontline associates and customers.
• Own the content ecosystem: Develop, maintain, and govern training content across Bridge, PurplePedia, LMS, and the Grid Institute training library — including product knowledge, sales skills, and process training, plus new-hire onboarding materials that stay current with launches and strategy changes.
• Use instructional design best practices: Apply adult learning principles and instructional design methodologies to produce training that sticks in fast-paced retail and wholesale settings; partner with the Visual Brand Manager on polished, on-brand assets.
• Support development: Work with the HRBP to develop and refresh competency‑building content, translating goal‑setting frameworks and leadership development priorities into field‑ready training.
• Deliver across channels and improve: Design content that is accessible across platforms including LMS, mobile devices, and in‑store training kiosks; incorporate feedback from associates, store managers, and retail partners to continuously refine effectiveness.

Launch Enablement & Field Tools

• Lead launch readiness: Lead enablement execution for product launches, trade shows, and major account initiatives — ensuring the field has training kits, sell sheets, launch guides, and enablement assets on time and on brand.
• Build the toolkit: Develop and maintain a library of field enablement tools: sell sheets, objection‑handling guides, FAQs, competitive tools, and quick‑reference materials.
• Align to selling moments: Partner with Product, Marketing, Visual Merchandising, and Account teams to translate launch priorities and selling strategies into clear, field‑ready content; support seasonal promotions with targeted content aligned to commercial goals.

Wholesale Communications

• Run field comms: Execute the wholesale communications calendar — drafting, scheduling, and distributing field communications across sales leadership, account teams, and cross‑functional partners.
• Message strategy to the field: Own content development for leadership forums, regional cascades, and the National Sales Meeting — translating strategic direction into clear, engaging messaging that drives consistent field execution; partner with RevOps on logistics, timing, and distribution.
• Set the standard: Maintain communication standards for the field: consistent voice, timely delivery, and clear calls to action.

Culture & Recognition

• Drive engagement: Coordinate and execute wholesale culture and recognition programs including Club Purple, contests, Prime Praise, and other engagement initiatives.
• Celebrate the wins: Develop compelling content and communications that celebrate team wins, highlight top performers and reinforce team identity; support engagement programming at NSM and key field events.
• Measure and evolve: Track program participation and field sentiment; share insights to help leadership evolve culture initiatives over time.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner broadly: Build strong working relationships across Sales, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Operations to stay ahead of key initiatives and ensure enablement content is always launch‑ready.
• Advocate for the field: Represent the wholesale enablement function in cross‑functional planning discussions; proactively surface field needs and gaps.
• Own the ambiguous: Manage a variety of special projects with a high degree of autonomy as priorities evolve.

Required Skills, Education & Experience

Bachelor's degree in Instructional Design, Communications, Marketing, English, Education, or equivalent experience.

• 3–5 years of experience in sales enablement, instructional design, training content development, or field communications — preferably in a B2B, wholesale, or product-driven retail environment (mattress, furniture, home goods, etc.).
• Strong writing and content creation skills — able to independently produce polished field communications, training materials, program launches, and event content — with strong attention to detail.
• Proven ability to translate complex product information into engaging, accessible training content, and a solid understanding of the retail sales cycle, especially high‑consideration items like mattresses or furniture.

• Experience managing LMS platforms and/or sales enablement tools (Bridge, Salesforce, Highspot, or similar); comfortable with platform governance and content hygiene.
