- Co‑facilitate global training programs, primarily virtual, when relevant to your region and business needs.
Deliver in‑person enablement sessions at the London office — typically on Wednesdays.
- Leverage AI tools to build training content, go‑to‑market resources, and partner acceleration materials, actively leading the way in how AI is integrated into enablement practice.
- Work collaboratively with subject matter experts, product managers, marketing, sales leaders, and channel partners to translate their knowledge into engaging, adult‑focused learning experiences.
- Apply instructional design principles to accelerate content development, design, and deployment.
- Contribute to the ongoing evolution of our partner enablement strategy, helping shape what scaled partner training looks like at 8x8.
Qualifications
- Experience in sales, sales/partner training, sales/partner enablement, or learning and development with a track record of delivering engaging programs.
- Strong facilitation and presentation skills with genuine enthusiasm for delivering engaging training experiences.
- Sound understanding of adult learning principles and instructional design fundamentals.
- Proven comfort with AI tools and a desire to leverage them genuinely for content design, development, and delivery.
- Collaborative mindset, able to work effectively across product teams, sales leadership, and channel partners.
- Flexibility and adaptability in a fast‑moving environment.
- Based in or within commutable distance of London, with a minimum of one day per week in the London office (typically Wednesdays).
- Willingness to travel for partner events and training delivery as needed.
- French language capability is advantageous but not essential.
