- You’ll act as the voice of sales: advocating for the needs and opportunities from the sales organization
- Working collaboratively in a small, high performing team, you will also contribute thought leadership and innovation to optimize team best practices, which can then be shared externally to fuel Showpad’s leadership in the enablement space
- Design and deliver a broad range of GTM enablement programs designed to improve sales performance, including but not limited to, reducing ramp time and increasing quota attainment

- Analyse and track enablement metrics to measure the effectiveness of enablement programs and identify opportunities for improvement (across KPIs such as pipeline generation, conversation rates, average deal size, quota attainment, etc.)
- Keep a pulse on KPIs related to new business sales and develop and present hypotheses / initiatives around how to improve specific data points
- Support sales managers in executing cadence of coaching activities and support wider leadership enablement initiatives

Our take
Sales teams have always used tech solutions to help improve how they source leads, develop relationships and close deals.
Showpad believes they're part of the fourth pillar of the technology marketing stack: storage (the cloud services where you keep all your data), CRM, marketing automation and sales enablement. The first three help manage a salesperson's activities, while sales enablement helps them to be more effective.
Their technology allows employees to share sales collateral with each other. The material and its link to successful sales becomes part of how Showpad “learns” what works and what doesn’t, enabling them to suggest materials for a specific sales effort.
Showpad has ties to companies in over 50 countries, and in 2023 released its Enablement Operating System product for its preexisting customers. This first of its kind analytics and insights dashboard exemplifies how at more than a decade old, Showpad is still at the forefront of the marketing software sector.
