About the Team

The Sales Enablement Team drives the technical success of our global partner ecosystem. This role is the dedicated technical arm, ensuring partner Sales Engineers (SEs) and pre-sales teams have the advanced knowledge, lab environments, and formal certifications to independently position, deploy, and support Druva solutions. The team acts as the strategic link between Channel Sales, Product Management, and internal Technical Enablement.

Role Purpose & Impact

The Technical Sales Enablement Manager, Partners (IC) strategically owns and executes the global technical partner enablement program. The core purpose is to design a best-in-class technical curriculum (L1/L2 certifications, POC readiness, Homerun lab) to transform partner SEs into self-sufficient technical experts. The key impact is a significant increase in the partner-led POC win rate and a reduction in reliance on internal Druva SE resources.

What You'll Do

• Own the strategy, design, and execution of the global technical partner enablement program with Channel Leadership
• Drive technical enablement for partner SEs and pre-sales teams: demo certification, POC readiness, and hands-on lab programs
• Design and deliver Partner Technical Certification L1 and L2 tracks to ensure partner SEs can independently demo and position Druva
• Build and maintain all partner-specific technical training content, including architecture guides, deployment scenarios, and competitive positioning

• Lead coordination of partner enablement events, webinars, and continuous learning sessions
• Manage the Partner Portal's technical enablement content, ensuring accuracy and accessibility
• Define, track, and report on key technical metrics (e.g., demo certification rate, POC win rate, L1/L2 completion) to correlate with partner productivity
• Partner with internal Enablement leadership to align technical content and certification standards

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 5+ years in Technical Enablement, Sales Engineering (SE), or Technical Training, including 2+ years specifically in Partner/Channel SE enablement for enterprise SaaS/Cloud
• Deep technical expertise in Cloud Data Protection, Cyber Resilience, or related security/infrastructure solutions (e.g., AWS, Azure, VMware, Kubernetes)
• Proven experience designing and launching technical L1/L2 certification tracks for partner SEs
• Expertise in building and managing technical lab environments (e.g., Homerun, POC) and structured demo scenario libraries
• Skilled in creating high-quality technical pre-sales content, including architecture guides, deployment scenarios, and competitive technical battlecards
• Exceptional ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable training for highly technical audiences
• Results-oriented, highly organized self-starter who thrives in dynamic, high-growth environments
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

What Success Looks Like in the Role

Success is architecting a highly competent, high-performing partner network, which requires:

• Measurably increasing Partner SE demo certification rate and Technical L1/L2 completion year-over-year
• Establishing a clear correlation between enablement and increased partner-led POC win rate and overall bookings
• Achieving SE dependency reduction by maximizing independent partner use of the Homerun lab and demo library
• Maintaining 100% currency of all core technical training materials
• Driving high partner satisfaction and adoption of enablement programs
