Director, Product Enablement

Great products only create impact when people understand them, can confidently talk about them, and know how to bring them to customers. That’s where you come in!
We are looking for a Director, Product Enablement to build the connection between what we create and how our teams take it to market. This is a highly visible role at the intersection of Product, Sales, Solution Engineering, Customer Success, Support, and Marketing - turning complex product capabilities, customer needs, and roadmap priorities into knowledge and insights people can actually use.
We’re looking for someone who can quickly understand complex products, make technical information accessible, confidently engage with senior leaders and cross-functional teams, and bring structure to a fast-moving product environment.

What Success Looks Like

You’ll make it easier for teams across ValGenesis to understand our products, confidently communicate their value, and quickly find accurate answers when they need them. Product knowledge becomes more scalable, RFP responses become faster and more consistent, customer feedback becomes more actionable, and Product leadership has better information to support prioritization decisions.

Most importantly, you’ll help create a stronger connection between what we build, what our customers need, and how our teams bring our products to market.
