About the Role

We're looking for a Sales Enablement Lead to own how Buildkite develops, equips, and scales its go-to-market team. This is a senior individual contributor role: you'll set the enablement strategy, build the systems and content that run underneath it, and operate with full autonomy across Sales, Marketing, and Product to raise how our sellers ramp, sell, and win. This role reports directly into the CRO.

This is a step up from running programs to owning the function. You'll decide what enablement Buildkite needs over the next 12 months, design it so it scales without you in the room, and connect every program to pipeline and revenue rather than activity. You'll be the person Sales leadership comes to when they need to move a number, and someone the wider GTM team looks to for how enablement is done well.

We're looking for someone who has built enablement or GTM systems before, can point to the revenue outcomes they moved, and has the judgment to work through ambiguity without waiting to be told what to prioritize.

Where You’ll Be

This role is remote-first and US-based. You'll need to be located in the Pacific time zone, or within one hour of it, so your working hours overlap with our stakeholders and teams in Australia.

What You'll Do

Own the enablement strategy

• Set the enablement strategy end-to-end and align it to Buildkite's revenue goals and GTM priorities
• Decide what to build, what to retire, and where to focus, using pipeline data, field insight, and close partnership with Sales leadership
• Anticipate what the GTM team will need as Buildkite scales, and get ahead of it rather than reacting to requests
• Bring clarity to ambiguous, cross-functional problems and translate them into programs people actually adopt

Build systems that scale

• Design and own a scalable enablement system — onboarding, ongoing skills development, content architecture, and tooling — that holds up as the team grows
• Build a content and playbook library that stays current with product positioning and the competitive landscape, and is easy for sellers to find and use in the moment
• Create the operating rhythm (certification, reinforcement, measurement) that turns training into lasting behavior change, not one-off sessions
• Improve the systems and tools the wider GTM team relies on, reducing friction and manual effort

Drive measurable GTM impact

• Own enablement outcomes and connect program activity to ramp time, seller performance, pipeline, and revenue
• Lead the enablement rollout of new products, messaging, and GTM motions end-to-end, co

lity, write crisp content, and adapt for audiences from new AEs to enterprise sellers

• You coach, mentor, and raise the standard around you, growing capability across the team
• You seek feedback, challenge the status quo with curiosity, and keep raising the bar through the quality of your work

Benefits

• 20 days paid annual leave plus 10 days sick & carer's leave — actively encouraged, we want you to be at your best and time off is a part of that.
• An ongoing remote-work allowance to help you do your best work — we want you to have everything you need, from great wifi to wellness options that are right for you.
• Retirement and health coverage (based on your region) — build towards your future, your way.
• 16 weeks paid parental leave for primary carers (6 weeks for secondary) — becoming a parent is life changing and we’re committed to supporting you and your family through it.
• Confidential EAP & mental health support — sometimes life gets hard. You should be able to access the resources and support you need.
• Support for learning and growth — with time and budget for conferences, courses, and coaching so you have the opportunity to grow, improve your craft, and build mastery.
• Flexibility to work from anywhere in the world for up to 6 weeks a year — great work doesn’t have to happen from one desk.

Exact benefits may vary slightly by country. We'll walk through the specifics for your location.
