Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide!

Vonage Communications APIs:

As an emerging leader in the $10B+ communications API market, we empower global brands to connect better with their customers, employees, and partners through transformative communications experiences. For example, Vonage API solutions empower organizations to build their custom omnichannel communications structure. This allows them to reach and engage customers on their preferred schedule and channel — including voice, video, and messaging. Think of a rideshare service instantly connecting with customers, hospital staff conducting remote monitoring, customers verifying their identity before completing a purchase, AI virtual agents servicing customers around the clock, and much more.

Why this role matters:

Sales Enablement develops and administers sales training courses, material and programs for the company’s sales organization.

• Define, track, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to training effectiveness (e.g., time-to-ramp, system adoption, forecast accuracy) and leverage data to drive continuous iteration and improvement of all enablement programs.

• Conceptualize and develop a comprehensive suite of engaging, blended learning assets, including interactive e-learning modules, high-quality video content, impactful live workshops, and comprehensive training documentation.

• Create, update, and govern training content to support ongoing sales enablement initiatives, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and alignment with the latest product, market, and sales process updates.

• Lead the strategy, training, and documentation for all critical sales technologies (e.g., CRM, sales engagement platforms, forecasting tools), actively promoting high adoption rates and ensuring data integrity across the sales stack.

• Act as a critical enablement partner, collaborating closely with Sales Leadership to jointly identify strategic skill gaps, critical training needs, and enablement priorities that maximize sales effectiveness.

• Partner with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Product Marketing, Sales Operations, and Marketing to ensure all content is technically accurate, market-relevant, and cohesively aligned with product roadmaps and Go-to-Market (GTM) strategies.

• Serve as a champion for continuous improvement in sales processes and training practices, researching and utilizing advanced adult learning principles, modern instructional design techniques, and new technologies to maximize learner engagement and retention.
