  • Introduce what AI Fluency means at Sierra and how to incorporate it into daily sales activities (account research, call prep, call recaps, pipeline updates, etc.)

  • Make sure every seller can explain, demo and stand behind how Sierra uses AI, so they can speak credibly with customers who are learning to deploy AI themselves

  • Establish baseline ramp metrics (time to first meeting, first deal, quota attainment, SE readiness) and set targets for reducing them

  • Use AI tools to scale enablement itself: faster content creation, AI-driven role-play and call coaching, and self-serve answers to seller questions

  • Partner with Product, Marketing, Sales Leadership, and Sales Engineering to keep content accurate as the product and market change

  • Recruit subject-matter experts, including top sellers and SEs, to teach and coach in the program

  • Gather feedback from new hires and managers, and iterate on the program quarterly

  • Track record of prioritizing competing requests from senior stakeholders and saying no with data

  • Track record of tying enablement work to business outcomes, not just completion rates

  • Strong facilitator, comfortable teaching experienced sellers and executives

  • Willing to do the hands-on work in the early months, not just manage it, and comfortable building from scratch with limited process and few resources

  • Able to learn a technical product ([AI agents / enterprise software]) well enough to teach it credibly

  • Hands-on, daily use of AI tools in your own work, and experience teaching others to adopt new tools and change how they work

Even better…

  • Experience selling or supporting sales in AI, SaaS, or enterprise software
