HEAD OF SALES OPERATIONS & ENABLEMENT (NORTH AMERICA)
Help build a disciplined, high-performing sales engine across a global B2B media and events business.
KM Business Information (formerly Key Media) is a global B2B media and events company with 300+ people across eight countries. We serve niche professional communities through digital platforms, print magazines, and 90+ annual events – including conferences, awards and large-scale festivals.
We’re looking for a senior, hands-on sales leader to own and elevate how we sell across our North American portfolios.
The role
As Head of Sales Operations & Enablement, you will design, implement and embed the sales processes, tools and standards that underpin consistent revenue performance.
You’ll work across a 60-person sales organization spanning multiple portfolios and verticals (including HR, Insurance, Wealth Management, Mortgage and Legal), partnering closely with sales leaders to turn strategy into daily discipline.
This is not a reporting or systems-only role. You will be directly involved in driving behavioral change, raising management capability, and lifting activity and revenue performance at the rep and manager level.
What you’ll do
- Define clear, repeatable sales processes from prospecting through close and renewal
- Create scalable workflows and standards that work across teams, products and regions
- Clarify ownership and accountability for execution at manager and rep level
- Set and maintain standards for activity, pipeline hygiene and deal management
- Own how our CRM (Microsoft Dynamics) and tools like SalesLoft are used to support process
- Coach and develop sales managers to lead with structure, cadence and follow-through
- Create scalable manager onboarding and development frameworks
What we’re looking for
- Senior experience in sales operations, enablement or revenue leadership
- Background in B2B media or events
- Proven track record designing and enforcing sales processes at scale
- Experience working with distributed sales teams across regions
- Strong change-management and manager-coaching capability
- Hands-on experience with CRM platforms (Microsoft Dynamics preferred) and sales engagement tools
Location: North America (remote-friendly, aligned to North American time zones)
Benefits & growth
- Competitive base salary with performance-related bonuses
- Comprehensive health and dental benefits
- Hybrid, flexible working model aligned to North American time zones
- Collaborative, supportive culture where high performance is recognized
- Opportunities to lead high-impact, cross-portfolio initiatives
- Exposure to senior stakeholders across sales, product, marketing and operations
- Global career opportunities within a business operating across North America, APAC and Europe
- Ongoing professional development and support to grow your leadership capability
