The posting
ROLE SUMMARY
Temporal is rapidly scaling its field organization, and setting up every seller to succeed, from day one and well beyond, is critical to meeting and exceeding our most ambitious goals.
As a GTM Enablement Manager, Field Training & Readiness, you’ll be the face of enablement in front of our sales teams. You’ll lead the live sessions where new hires and tenured sellers build the skills and confidence to have great customer conversations: bootcamp modules, workshops, role plays, and ongoing skills sessions. You’ll work from a defined track and a curriculum built with the enablement team, and you’ll bring it to life with your stories, your energy, and your read of the room.
If you’re energized by being in front of a room, believe training should be memorable and behavior-changing rather than a slide-reading exercise, and want to partner closely with the sales and BDR teams on the ground, this role is for you.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Deliver training that sticks. Lead a regular cadence of live, interactive sessions for Account Executives and BDRs and other customer-facing roles, including new hire cohorts, skills workshops, and role plays. Your sessions are built around practice, not presentation.
- Own your delivery track. Take ownership of a defined slate of programs and a delivery calendar. You’ll work from a curriculum built with the broader enablement team and make it your own through storytelling, real examples, and adapting on the fly. You’ll also flag what’s working and what isn’t so the content keeps getting better.
- Partner with the field. Stay close to the sales and BDR teams in Atlanta and beyond. Show up in team meetings, run role-play and call-practice reinforcement with managers, and bring what you hear (what’s resonating, where reps are stuck) back to the enablement team.
- Bring in the experts. You won’t be the expert on everything, and you don’t need to be. You’ll deliver the fundamentals with confidence and know when to pull in an AE, SA, or product expert to take a session deeper.
- Close the loop. Gather feedback and simple leading indicators (participation, skill demonstration, manager input) after every session and use them to iterate.
- Pitch in on the work behind the work. Scheduling, session prep, LMS updates, and content upkeep are shared across the team. You’ll own your share.
- Flex where the impact is. The core of this role is training delivery. As the team and the field grow, there will be room to expand into onboarding, BDR enablement, and broader field readiness.
WHO YOU ARE (NEED TO HAVES)
- Location: Atlanta metro area, or willingness to relocate. This role involves in-person collaboration with our sales and BDR teams, with a strong preference for 1-2 days a week in the office. In-person attendance is required for biweekly bootcamp delivery.
- You’re a natural facilitator. You come alive in front of a room. You’re outgoing, personable, and engaging; you use stories to make concepts real, and you can hold a room’s attention for hours. Your strength is how you facilitate, not just how you present: you read the audience, draw people in, and adapt on the fly. People leave your sessions feeling equipped, not talked at.
- You have a credible foundation in sales or enablement. You come from one of two places: you’ve spent 2+ years in a sales role (AE or BDR/SDR management) and want to move into enablement, or you’ve spent 5+ years delivering sales training or enablement at a comparable company or level. Either way, sellers listen to you because you understand their reality and speak their language.
- You earn credibility with humility. You know you aren’t the expert in our product or our customers. You build trust by being curious, prepared, and honest about what you know, and by bringing the right people into the room when it matters.
- You’re coachable and a team player. You take feedback well, you ask for it, and you improve fast. Enablement touches every part of the business, and you’re as comfortable collaborating as you are owning your own work.
- You’re a builder who executes. You thrive where things aren’t fully figured out yet. You move fast, hold a high bar for quality, and run through walls to get things delivered, including the logistics.
- You’re AI-forward and always raising the bar. The way enablement gets done has fundamentally shifted. You’re already using AI, whether to prep and personalize sessions or to focus on the highest-leverage work, and you don’t settle for how it’s always been done.
YOU’LL THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF
- You have a deep passion for Temporal’s mission and what we’re building for developers.
- You’ve enabled or sold into teams working with highly technical or infrastructure products, sold to developers, and/or navigated bottoms-up OSS/PLG and tops-down sales motions.
- You have experience enabling BDR/SDR teams, or you’ve led one.
- You’re familiar with Command of the Message and MEDDPICC, or you’ve facilitated a comparable sales methodology.
- You’ve enabled multiple audiences (e.g. AEs, BDRs, SAs, Managers).
