The Partner Enablement Manager (PEM) is responsible for building partner capability at scale — ensuring partners are equipped to sell, position, and deliver Smarsh solutions effectively and consistently.
This role owns the design and execution of structured enablement programs, replacing ad hoc training with repeatable, measurable frameworks that drive partner productivity and revenue impact.
The PEM operates as a program builder and structured operator, working closely with Channel Account Managers (CAMs) and Partner Success Managers (PSMs) to ensure partners are fully enabled across each stage of the lifecycle. The role is focused on capability building — not direct revenue ownership or renewal execution.
