- Partner cross-functionally with Sales Leadership, Sales Ops, and other internal teams to continue to innovate and improve the onboarding experience and process through effective content. You will oversee and measure effectiveness of our program and make adjustments as content changes occur.
- Own and coordinate the onboarding calendar and communications from end-to-end, ensuring that speakers and attendees know where to be and when.
- Monitor and track progress of new reps during their onboarding period, and communicate feedback effectively to new reps as well as their managers as needed.
- Help manage and support tools and resources that support our onboarding program such as our checklists and maintain updated knowledge within our internal Sales Manager Hub, whilst helping to track which resources are most-used.
Requirements
- Passion for teaching people new concepts, skills and programs.
- 1+ years relevant work experience in sales, sales training, or related field.
- Great communication skills and able to command a room when giving presentations.
