Onboarding Lead, Sales Enablement

About us

Sierra is the leading platform for customer-facing AI agents, working with many of the world's biggest brands — including The GAP, Rocket Mortgage, SoFi, Sutter Health, and SoftBank — to transform how they serve customers and grow their businesses. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices across North America, Europe, and Asia.

We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and a commitment to balancing Family along the way. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.

Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google’s AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.

What you’ll do

• Design and build a structured onboarding program for new Account Executives and Sales Engineers, with role-specific tracks

• Deliver onboarding live and asynchronously: cohort sessions, workshops, certifications, and role-plays

• Introduce what AI Fluency means at Sierra and how to incorporate it into daily sales activities (account research, call prep, call recaps, pipeline updates, etc.)

• Make sure every seller can explain, demo and stand behind how Sierra uses AI, so they can speak credibly with customers who are learning to deploy AI themselves

• Establish baseline ramp metrics (time to first meeting, first deal, quota attainment, SE readiness) and set targets for reducing them

• Use AI tools to scale enablement itself: faster content creation, AI-driven role-play and call coaching, and self-serve answers to seller questions

• Partner with Product, Marketing, Sales Leadership, and Sales Engineering to keep content accurate as the product and market change

• Recruit subject-matter experts, including top sellers and SEs, to teach and coach in the program

• Gather feedback from new hires and managers, and iterate on the program quarterly

• Build the global program so it can be adapted for regional teams, including our London office

What you’ll bring

• 6+ years in sales enablement at a high-growth B2B software company, with hands-on onboarding or training experience and experience managing cross-functional programs

• Experience designing and delivering onboarding for both quota-carrying sellers and technical sellers

• Track record of prioritizing competing requests from senior stakeholders and saying no with data

• Track record of tying enablement work to business outcomes, not just completion rates

• Strong facilitator, comfortable teaching experienced sellers and executives

• Willing to do the hands-on work in the early months, not just manage it, and comfortable building from scratch with limited process and few resources

• Able to learn a technical product ([AI agents / enterprise software]) well enough to teach it credibly

• Hands-on, daily use of AI tools in your own work, and experience teaching others to adopt new tools and change how they work

Even better…

• Experience running sales kickoff or product launch enablement

• Experience selling or supporting sales in AI, SaaS, or enterprise software

• Familiarity with enablement platforms (e.g., [Highspot, Seismic, Salesforce, Gong])

• Experience running onboarding through rapid headcount growth, or handing a program to a successor

Our values

• Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.

• Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers’ business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it.

• Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn’t right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self-reflect to continuously self-improve.

• Intensity: We know we don’t have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn’t, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time.

• Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other’s personal and professional achievements.
