About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Sales & Partner Readiness to build and run modern, scalable enablement programs across Napster’s sellers and partner ecosystem.

This is not a traditional sales-training role. The focus is on helping sellers and partner sellers become productive faster, use the right methodology and tools, practice continuously, and stay ready as our products and go-to-market motions evolve.

You will work closely with Commercial Enablement, Sales, Partnerships, Product Marketing, Partner Product Marketing, Technical Partner Management, and our Forward Deployed Engineer.

What You Will Own

• Seller onboarding, readiness, and certification
• Partner seller onboarding and enablement
• Sales methodology adoption and reinforcement
• Pitch, discovery, demo, objection handling, and competitive readiness
• Coaching, role-play, and manager reinforcement
• Product and release readiness
• Sales toolkit adoption, including playbooks, battlecards, discovery guides, value frameworks, ROI tools, demo scripts, and opportunity planning tools
• Readiness measurement and continuous improvement

Modern & AI-Enabled Enablement

We want someone who can help us move beyond static training and traditional LMS-led enablement.

You will explore and use modern approaches such as:

• AI-supported role-play and buyer simulations
• Discovery and objection-handling practice
• Agent-led onboarding
• Personalized learning journeys
• Searchable knowledge tools
• AI-supported coaching and certification
• In-workflow learning and reinforcement

Hands-on experience using generative AI tools in day-to-day work is strongly preferred. You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable experimenting with modern AI tools and thinking differently about how sellers learn and improve.

What We Are Looking For

• 8–12+ years in sales enablement, revenue enablement, partner enablement, or commercial learning
• Experience in enterprise technology, SaaS, cloud, AI, or platform businesses
• Proven experience building seller onboarding and readiness programs
• Experience enabling partner or channel sellers
• Strong understanding of sales methodologies and enterprise sales motions
• Experience driving adoption of sales tools and commercial playbooks
• Strong facilitation, coaching, and program-design skills
• Experience building certification and competency frameworks
• Comfortable working across Sales, Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and technical teams
• Ability to build repeatable systems rather than one-off training
• Familiarity with AI-enabled learning, coaching, simulation, or productivity tools is highly desirable

What Success Looks Like

Success means:

• Sellers become productive faster
• Partner sellers can execute without requiring Napster in every meeting
• Sales methodology and toolkit usage become consistent
• Certification reflects real capability, not course completion
• Sellers can pitch, discover, demo, and handle objections confidently
• AI and modern tooling improve how learning and coaching are delivered
• Commercial readiness is measurable and visible
• Enablement contributes to stronger execution, pipeline, and growth

Our Culture:

• Impact: Play a crucial role in our growth journey.
• Culture: Join a vibrant team valuing creativity and collaboration.
• Growth: Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Reward: Enjoy competitive compensation, equity opportunities, and comprehensive benefits.
• Ready to shape our future? Apply now and be part of something extraordinary!
