Role Overview

The Senior Manager of Onboarding owns the strategy, development, and execution of all onboarding and readiness programs across the revenue organization. This leader ensures new hires quickly reach full productivity and tenured reps are equipped with the skills, behaviors, and certification paths required for career progression.

Reporting to the Head of Revenue Enablement, this role blends strategic program design with hands-on delivery. You will build structured onboarding journeys, role-based certification frameworks, and promotion readiness programs that help SDRs, AEs, and other revenue roles ramp faster and grow faster.

You’ll partner closely with SDR Leadership, Sales Leadership, RevOps, Product, and PMM to ensure onboarding is tightly aligned with GTM motions, product capabilities, and field expectations. While initially an individual contributor role, it will scale into a leadership role as the company expands.

Key Responsibilities

Cross-Functional Alignment

• Partner with CRO, SDR/Sales leadership, RevOps, Product, and PMM to ensure onboarding and readiness programs align with GTM strategy.
• Act as a strategic advisor on ramp productivity, skill gaps, and field readiness.

• Build structured learning paths and practice-based assessments (mock calls, messaging certifications, demos, roleplays).
• Partner with leaders to ensure promotion criteria are consistent, fair, and aligned with performance expectations.
• Track progress and support managers with insights to guide rep development.

Field Engagement & Program Optimization

• Shadow new hires, observe calls, and gather feedback to continuously refine onboarding content.
• Identify common ramp blockers and skill gaps, and embed solutions into onboarding and readiness curricula.
• Build playbooks, tool guides, and learning modules that support both new hire ramp and ongoing development.

Tools, AI & Automation

• Partner with RevOps/Sales Ops to maintain LMS infrastructure and streamline readiness workflows.
• Drive adoption of tools used in onboarding (e.g., LMS, Gong, Outreach, Salesforce).
• Identify opportunities to use AI and automation to create scalable, personalized learning experiences.

Measurement & Insights

• Track ramp time, certification completion, performance benchmarks, and readiness indicators.
• Use data to refine programs, update competency frameworks, and guide reinforcement.
• Report on onboarding and promotion-readiness outcomes to senior leadership.

Experience Requirements

• 7–10 years in revenue enablement, onboarding program management, SDR/Sales leadership, or related fields.
• Experience designing and running onboarding or certification programs in a SaaS, high-growth environment.
• Strong background in curriculum development, facilitation, and adult learning principles.
• Proficiency with enablement tools and LMS platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Outreach, Mindtickle, Synthesia).
