- Executive Communication & Reporting: Enable data-informed decisions around team readiness and customer engagement strategy.
- Content Strategy & Execution: Partner with SMEs, instructional designers, and business stakeholders to create assets such as onboarding guides, success plans, renewal toolkits, and health score playbooks that support field execution.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product Marketing, Customer Success leaders, & business stakeholders to ensure enablement is integrated, consistent, and responsive to evolving customer needs and product innovation
What You Will Bring
- Minimum of 10 years of experience in customer success enablement, renewals, technical account management, or post-sales operations, preferably within the technology or cybersecurity sector.

- Strong facilitation and coaching skills, with experience delivering role-based training and performance interventions for global customer-facing teams.
