As the Customer Success Enablement Delivery, Senior Manager, you will be the lead enablement strategist for the Global Customer Success (GCS) organization at Verizon Connect. This is not a traditional training delivery role; it is a highly strategic position focused directly on revenue retention and account expansion. Our Strategic Account Managers (SAMs) and Customer Success Managers (CSMs) drive our Net Revenue Retention (NRR). To support them, we need a leader who deeply understands commercial strategy and has the professional presence to influence senior teams. You will design, build, and run the playbooks our revenue teams use to manage enterprise relationships, prevent churn, and confidently cross-sell within our existing customer base. Core Responsibilities Commercial Enablement & Expansion Strategy (35%) Build the complete enablement strategy for SAMs and CSMs, focusing on relationship management, account retention, and account expansion. Partner with Product Marketing and GCS Leadership to turn product updates into clear, compelling sales messaging for our current customers.

Go-To-Market (GTM) & Launch Readiness (25%) Act as the readiness leader for the GCS team during major product launches and pricing changes. Design structured training and certification programs so the team is fully prepared to sell new features and handle competitor pushback.

Performance Analytics & Skill Development (25%) Build clear skill frameworks for the GCS organization to identify gaps in negotiation, account planning, and Executive Business Reviews (EBRs). Use tools like Salesforce and Gainsight to track how enablement programs impact quota attainment, churn reduction, and account growth. Audit current sales and retention approaches, redesign playbooks for underperforming segments, and run targeted training sprints to get teams back on track. Cross-Functional Influence & Feedback (15%) Act as the voice of the GCS organization, sharing frontline feedback with Product and Sales teams. Translate competitive intelligence and win/loss data into practical, everyday sales strategies. Help shape future product roadmaps based on what our SAMs are hearing directly from the field. Strategic Impact & Authority You will have a broad span of influence across the business. Your goal is to actively shape the Sales & retention behavior of senior professionals, including GCS Directors, Associate Directors, SAMs, and CSMs. You will work independently to set high standards for our enablement programs and confidently manage pushback from regional leaders to ensure our strategies actually deliver the expected financial results.
