Key Responsibilities

• Harmonize and Execute Strategic Transformation Programs around Sales: Deliver business impact across a broad diverse transformation portfolio to accelerate growth and optimize costs through a program office and best practice adoption at scale.
• Establish Global Sales Enablement Center of Excellence: Drive efficiency, scale and impact by establishing a global CoE and shared services for Sales Enablement; standardizing best practices for content, processes, vendors and programs.
• Deliver best-in-class productivity tool and application portfolio: Partner across the global divisions to accelerate sales growth via adoption/value realization of AI and productivity tools; and deliver efficiencies by rationalizing fragmented technology investments.
• Strategic Roadmap Development: Partner with the executive team to identify value-creation levers and prioritize a multi-year transformation portfolio.
• Operational Excellence: Redesign end-to-end business processes using data-driven methodologies to eliminate silos and friction.
• Change Leadership: Serve as a key change agent, building high-trust relationships across the organization to overcome resistance and drive adoption of new ways of working.
• Governance & Value Tracking: Establish rigorous KPIs and "Value Realization" frameworks to ensure transformation efforts translate directly to the P&L.

The Ideal Candidate Profile

• 15+ years experience with either management consultancy (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) or held a senior operational role in either Sales Enablement, Strategy or Operations within a large, complex enterprise. You understand what looks good on a slide and what actually works in a large, complex company.
• Proven ability to scale impact: Experience navigating the complexities of a $5B+ organization, including global footprints, legacy systems, and diverse talent pools.

• Systems Thinking: The ability to see the "entire map" and understand how a change in one department ripples across the whole enterprise.

• Financial Literacy: Strong understanding of financial levers, capital allocation, and ROI modeling.

• Influence Without Authority: You can persuade teams to change their workflow through empathy and logic, not just mandate.
• Resilience: The ability to stay steady and optimistic during the "trough of disillusionment" inherent in any major change.
