What you’ll be doing:

• Team Leadership: Build and lead a world-class Enablement Team within Lightspeed focused on delivering impactful training and enablement solutions. Foster a culture of continuous learning and development, ensuring the team delivers content that enhances performance and productivity.
• Enterprise-Level Training Program Development: Design, implement, and oversee comprehensive, scalable training programs for global GTM teams.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with leaders from Product, PMM, Marketing, IS, Customer Success, and Sales to gather insights and develop best-in-class training content. Lead the Center of Excellence (CoE) for your region’s Enablement pod, applying and adapting the Enablement framework to meet regional needs.
