The Position

A player-coach who builds and runs the program hands-on rather than through a team. The Director title reflects the seniority the role requires to operate: it needs to earn credibility with VP-level sales leaders across Institutional/Asset Management and Wealth Enterprise, own a platform, and represent enablement in company-level planning. As our sales enablement function continues to grow, this role will evolve to include building and leading a team, with the opportunity to shape the broader function, programs, and strategy along the way.

• Translate YCharts' brand promise and positioning into segment and persona-specific value-selling narratives and materials for Institutional/Asset Management and Wealth Enterprise sales teams first, then extend the same discipline to Key Accounts and Independent/SMB as the program matures.
• Partner with Product Marketing on positioning, competitive intelligence, and launch messaging inputs, and take ownership of turning those inputs into field-ready assets such as sales decks, battlecards, objection handling, and value/ROI tools.
• Build and maintain buying-committee content for complex, multi-stakeholder Institutional and Enterprise deals, working with sales leadership to identify the roles and objections each deal needs to address.
• Define and roll out a value-selling enablement and certification approach for segment sales teams, tied to the unified brand promise coming out of recently kicked off brand and positioning workstreams.
• Support ICP-tightening documentation in partnership with Product Marketing, Sales, and Demand Generation, so enablement content and targeting criteria are grounded in the same definition of a good-fit account.
• Partner with Marketing Operations and Demand Generation to define and track content usage and impact metrics including engaged selling time and content's influence on closed deals.
• Manage the sales enablement platform vendor relationship, implementation, and budget, including the business case for platform investment and the ongoing content governance model.
• Develop and execute a comprehensive sales adoption strategy that focuses on high-impact initiatives, create hands-on learning experiences, incorporate tracking and competition to drive engagement, and equip sales managers with the necessary coaching tools to ensure ongoing accountability across teams.

Objectives & success metrics

• Launch a centralized, tagged sales enablement library (interim hub or platform) with content organized by segment and stage, by the end of the first two quarters.
• Ship value-selling narratives and materials for the Institutional/Asset Management and Wealth Enterprise segments, tied to the unified brand promise, with adoption visible through platform usage data.
• Establish a first credible baseline connecting enablement content usage to sales outcomes (engaged selling time, content-influenced win rate), since no such tracking exists today specific improvement targets should be set once this baseline and the 2027 plan's broader attribution work are in place.
• Hold or improve conversion/win rate in the segments this role serves first, and improve marketing content development efficiency, consistent with the metrics the 2027 plan's headcount table assigns to this role.
