Position Summary:
Harness is seeking a highly motivated and results-oriented Revenue Enablement Director to be the bridge between our complex technical product suite and our core go-to-market (GTM) execution.
You believe that great training doesnt happen in a single bootcamp moment it compounds over time. At Harness youll own the full arc of how our sellers develop: from the energy of a live training session to the quiet structural work of building reinforcement programs that show up in rep behavior weeks and months later. You bring presence in a room instinct for curriculum design and the organizational savvy to drive impact without always having direct authority.

- Own approximately 7 weeks of formal facilitation per year concentrated around bootcamps and key sales events.
New Hire Onboarding & Ramp
- Own a meaningful portion of how new AEs and SEs come up to speed at Harness.
- Shape the full experience: sequencing pacing reinforcement activities. The goal is reps who leave onboarding ready to execute not just informed.
Post-Ramp Continuous Development
- Own the program that picks up where onboarding leaves off. Right now reps exit our intermediate session at months 34 and get nothing structured after that. Youll fix that.
- Design and run a cohesive intermediate and ongoing development program that meets reps at their actual stage not just at the beginning.
- Build reinforcement programs around Command of the Message and other core skills so that whats taught in bootcamp doesnt atrophy in the field.
Sales Skill Coaching & Reinforcement
- Identify skill gaps through call reviews rep feedback and sales leader input.
- Turn those gaps into targeted recurring coaching programs across discovery multithreading value negotiation and competitive positioning.
- Build the coaching guides and tools that help managers reinforce skills day-to-day not just rely on the next training event.
Sales Leadership Development
- Partner with our CRO and sales leadership to extend and reinforce the leadership development program that currently exists as a single impactful week with no follow-through.
- Build the cadence content and reinforcement infrastructure that makes leadership development a continuous program rather than a one-time event.
Content Curriculum & Best Practices
- Build and maintain a best of library: curated calls emails talk tracks and winning behaviors captured from top performers and made accessible to the whole team.
- Develop the materials that power your facilitation: playbooks role-play frameworks certification rubrics and e-learning modules.
- Own the underlying curriculum and keep it sharp as Harnesss market and messaging evolves.
Team Contribution
- Enablement at Harness is a team sport. You pick things up without being asked and make the team better just by being on it.
Required Skills & Experience
- High EQ and strong organizational savvy. You know how to build trust influence without direct authority and navigate a matrixed organization where stakeholders are senior and access is earned.
- Natural command presence. You hold a room make reps feel challenged rather than lectured and handle pushback without getting rattled.
- Curriculum instinct. You can identify a skill gap and translate it into a program not just a one-off session. You think in terms of sequencing reinforcement and behavior change over time.
- Some experience in a quota-carrying AE or SE role in B2B SaaS. You understand the sales motion youll be teaching and reps will feel that credibility.
- Some experience training mentoring or coaching peers even informally as a senior rep ramp buddy or team lead.
- Genuine curiosity and eagerness to learn Harnesss platform GTM motion and competitive landscape. This isnt a role for someone who feels like theyve already figured it all out.
- A collaborative low-ego approach. You contribute beyond your job description and raise the bar for the team around you
