About the Role
Zip is seeking a Senior Technical Enablement Manager to oversee the readiness and development of the Solutions Engineering team. This role bridges pre-sales execution, product knowledge, and learning design to empower the SE team in technical discovery, demos, competitive positioning, and deal progression.
Responsibilities
- Own SE Onboarding & Ramp: Design and deliver a structured ramp program for new SEs covering platform depth, demo certification, discovery methodology, and technical objection handling. Track ramp KPIs and iterate to accelerate time-to-readiness.
- Drive Ongoing Technical Readiness: Build and maintain a continuous learning program to keep SEs updated as the product evolves. Partner with Product and PMM to integrate new releases, competitive shifts, and messaging updates into field-ready training.
- Build and Maintain SE Certifications: Own the SE certification framework including demo quality, technical discovery, and RFx readiness. Run bi-annual refreshes and use AI roleplay tools to scale practice and coaching.
- Enable Competitive & Vertical Depth: Develop programs to equip SEs with technical differentiation, industry context, and ERP/integration knowledge needed for enterprise deals.
- Leverage Data to Improve Performance: Use call intelligence, competency assessments, and win/loss data to identify gaps in technical delivery, narrative quality, and demo effectiveness, then build targeted interventions.
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Act as the connective tissue between SE leadership, PMM, Product, and RevOps to align SE enablement with GTM strategy, product launches, and competitive priorities.
- Measure What Matters: Track leading indicators (demo certification pass rates, call quality scores, competitive win rates, early-stage conversion) and lagging indicators (win rate, deal velocity, ACV) to demonstrate enablement impact.
Requirements
- 4–7+ years of experience in technical pre-sales enablement, solutions engineering, or a closely related GTM role in a high-growth SaaS environment
- Deep understanding of the SE function, including how SEs think, prepare for technical evaluations, and what differentiates great demos.
- Proven experience building certification programs, technical learning journeys, and demo readiness frameworks.
- Hands-on experience with tools like Gong, LMS platforms, and AI roleplay tools (e.g. LetterAI).
- Strong data orientation and comfort in extracting insights from call intelligence and performance data to inform program design.
- Excellent communication, cross-functional influence, and project management skills.
- High execution bar with the ability to ship programs, iterate quickly, and build trust with technical teams.
