Team Leadership
Lead, coach, and develop a high‑performing sales training team
Set clear expectations, roles, and development paths

Maintain tight feedback loops with the field and sales leadership
Operational Excellence
Own training operations, budget, and execution discipline
Introduce tools and approaches that materially improve effectiveness
Build a team culture that solves problems instead of escalating them
Qualifications (Read Carefully)
You are likely a fit if you:
Have 7+ years of real success in sales or account management (non‑negotiable)
Have built or led sales training that changed field behavior
Are advanced at presenting, facilitation, and influencing senior audiences
Can challenge sales leaders respectfully - and hold your ground
Are comfortable operating on‑site in a fast‑moving enterprise environment
Use data to validate impact, not just tell a good story
Are fluent with modern tools (PowerPoint, Excel, AI‑enabled productivity tools)

Experience in clinically sensitive, regulated, or complex sales environments
Prior leadership of a sales training or enablement team
Compensation & Scope
$190K-$220K base + incentive eligibility
