Director, Sales Training & Field Enablement

Director, Sales Training & Field Enablement

Reporting to the Senior Director, Sales Training & Effectiveness, the Director, Sales Training & Field Enablement owns the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of the new hire sales academy, the sales training curriculum, and the company's largest field-facing meetings — including the product launch meeting, national sales meetings, and POA/regional sales meetings. This role also serves as the primary Sales Training liaison to Marketing and Medical Affairs for the review and professional promotion (MLR/PRC) of field-facing training and promotional materials, ensuring content is accurate, on-brand, compliant, and launch-ready.

This is a builder role for an individual who thrives on turning brand strategy and clinical content into structured, engaging, and certifiable training experiences, and who can manage the logistics and content design of large-scale company meetings under tight timelines.
