Introduction

Optimizely is building the world’s leading agentic platform for Marketing and Digital leaders, and we’re investing in a unified GTM Enablement function to match. This is a newly created senior leadership role that consolidates sales, SDR, and customer success enablement under a single strategic owner - designed to ensure every revenue-facing team member has the knowledge, skills, and tools to perform at their best. As VP of GTM Enablement, you will set the enablement strategy and operating model, lead a team of role-based enablement managers, and own the programs and infrastructure that move win rates, quota attainment, ramp time, and net revenue retention. You will report to the CCO and partner closely with the GTM teams and leaders as your primary stakeholders. The ideal candidate has deep experience enabling multiple GTM motions simultaneously: direct enterprise, mid-market, SDR/BDR, and post-sale customer success -and knows how to build an enablement function that acts as a strategic multiplier on the revenue org, not just a training team. You are excited by the opportunity to build an agentic enablement infrastructure that gets the right customer-facing asset to the right field rep at the right moment (customer stage), and you understand how AI can transform the way field teams learn and perform.
