What We’re Building
Honeycomb defined the concept of observability and is raising expectations of what our developer tools can do! Honeycomb is the observability platform that enables engineering teams to find and solve problems they couldn't before. It enables engineers to answer novel questions about their ever-evolving cloud applications, so they can deploy confidently, resolve incidents faster and focus on high-value work that drives innovation. We’re working with well known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, and Vanguard and more across a range of industries. This is an exciting time in our trajectory, we’ve closed Series D funding, scaled past the 150-person mark, and were named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startups of 2022 and 2023!!
As the Sales Enablement Manager at Honeycomb.io, you will play a pivotal role in accelerating our growth by equipping our sales, sales development, solutions architects, and customer success teams with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to excel in their roles. You will lead the development of sales enablement strategies, processes, and programs, with a focus on implementing industry-leading methodologies such as MEDDPICC and Force Management Command of the Message.
We’re seeking for a candidate who’s comfortable building and improving our RevOps foundations, often in an ambiguous environment, which requires us to roll up our sleeves and take a few steps back to achieve giant leaps forward. This means we spend time in the less glamorous work of cleaning our data, standardizing reporting, and debugging systems issues to solidify RevOps’ value to our organization as proactive enablers of GTM.
Who We Are
We come for the impact, and stay for the culture! We’re a talented, opinionated, passionate, fiercely inclusive, and responsible group of bees. We have conviction and we strive to live our values every day. We want our people to do what they truly love amongst a team of highly talented (but humble) peers.
How We Work
We are a remote-first company, which means we believe it is not where you sit, but how you deliver that matters most. We invest in our people and care about how you orient to our culture and processes. At the same time we imbue a lot of trust, autonomy, and accountability from Day 1
What You'll do in the Role
- GTM Content Development and Management: Create and curate sales content in conjunction with Product Marketing, including presentations, battle cards, case studies, and product collateral, tailored to address the needs of different buyer personas and sales stages.

Collaborate with Product Marketing to manage the enablement calendar and set expectations for the production of materials.
- Sales Tools and Process Enablement: Partner with Revenue Systems Administration and Sales Ops to maintain comprehensive documentation for our toolset (e.g., Salesforce.com, Clari, 6sense), aimed at making our revenue teams more effective in growing the business. This includes ensuring clarity on processes like lead follow-up, stage definitions, and expectations across the funnel.
- Enablement Technology Management: Oversee the selection, implementation, and optimization of sales enablement tools and technologies including Highspot, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems and workflows. Inform sales teams about new resources and updates to existing documentation.
- Rhythm of Business Management: Help manage and organize our recurring revenue organization meetings such as monthly global revenue all hands and sales team ask-me-anything sessions with executive team members.
