Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced Director of Sales Enablement to build and scale our global revenue enablement function from the ground up. This hands-on leadership role is for a strategic builder who will design the foundation for our enterprise sales motion, equipping teams with the tools, content, and processes to drive productivity and growth. You’ll collaborate closely with Revenue Operations, Sales Leadership, and Product Marketing to ensure an AI-first approach and seamless scaling. Reporting to the VP of Revenue Operations, you’ll turn tribal knowledge into actionable enablement—shortening ramp times and maximising performance in a fast-growing environment.

What you will do

Build & Scale the Enablement Function
You will define the core enablement charter, scope, and governance, creating a robust GTM wiki and systems to ensure it’s a reliable resource for Sales. You’ll own and lead the enablement roadmap, from onboarding to continuous learning, ensuring our teams are always equipped for success.

Own the Onboarding Experience
Develop and execute a standardised onboarding framework for Account Executives, aligning it with hiring and ramp objectives. You’ll clarify key learning topics, methods, and checks to ensure new hires are fully prepared. Collaborate with various teams to seamlessly orchestrate onboarding for global hires.

Drive Strategic Sales Plays
Launch problem-based sales plays, including talk tracks, battle cards, demo flows, and value calculators. Work closely with Product Marketing to translate our value propositions into actionable GTM collateral. Continuously assess and evolve our sales plays to identify gaps and opportunities.

Centralise Knowledge & Enable Self-Service Learning
Consolidate documentation into a scalable, AI-powered GTM wiki (leveraging Le Chat). Partner with Product Marketing, Product, and Solutions teams to make cross-functional expertise easily accessible. Create tailored assets, such as verticalised content, battle cards, and proposal decks, to address the unique challenges of selling Mistral’s solutions.

Measure & Optimise Impact
Go beyond vanity metrics—focus on ramp time, win rates, pipeline coverage, and forecast accuracy to measure enablement effectiveness. Work with Revenue Operations to standardise metrics, dashboards, and analytics for ongoing improvement.

Champion AI-First Enablement
Identify opportunities where AI can enhance or replace traditional enablement methods. Default to an AI-first mindset, collaborating with Revenue Operations and Product to develop innovative solutions that scale and accelerate our enablement efforts.
