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.
