    AI

    your people

    will love.

    We're filling a big need for generative AI built ground-up for the needs of enterprises and embraced by their teams. As generative AI became a board-level initiative almost overnight for most enterprises, our market matured dramatically and we benefit from that tailwind. Our product is highly differentiated, our roadmap is transformative, and our customers are happy and vocal.

    About this role

    Our ideal technical and product-focused sales enablement sr. manager is someone who can help our sales team become AI subject-matter experts and trusted advisors who understand the AI landscape, our product capabilities and how they drive positive business outcomes, and the customer's industry deeply. This is how we'll enable our team to help shepherd prospects through transformational AI projects. Our average deal sizes are 6-figures and are driven by solution-selling in mid-market and enterprise segments.

    This role will be responsible for enabling our internal Go-to-Market teams on new product releases, the benefits of new features, and how to effectively demonstrate them to customers. You'll play a critical role in ensuring our teams have the technical knowledge and skills to win deals and drive customer success. If you love to ship impactful work, collaborate, and iterate quickly, be provided real, tactical feedback, and have your perspective and intuition trusted to leave your imprint on Writer, this is the right role for you.

    Lastly, this is a new role at Writer, so we're looking for someone who can both plan for the future and execute for the present.
