Technical Enablement Manager

Exa sells a technical product to technical buyers, through a technical sales motion. Our AEs need to speak fluently about the product and our FDEs need enablement that matches their skill level and doesn't waste their time. You're the person who makes both of those true. You'll own technical enablement for the entire GTM org, both onboarding and everboarding.

Responsibilities

Design and run technical onboarding for new AEs and FDEs - sessions, materials, and assessments built from scratch so new hires ramp with real fluency, not just familiarity; Own ongoing (everboarding) enablement: product training, update briefings, and skill-building tied to real deal scenarios; Turn new platform capabilities into field-ready content within days of launch including translating technical features to value based narrative, technical objection handling, quick-reference guides, and demo scenarios across industries and personas; Coach technical sellers on demo delivery through practice sessions and office hours; Build and maintain a library of enablement content: demo guides, technical objection handling, competitive positioning, hands-on labs, reference material for both technical and sales audiences; Build the infrastructure that scales enablement without you in the room: self-service resources, demo environments, content-freshness automation; Close the loop with product and product marketing by bringing back field signal on where sellers get stuck and what would unlock the next deal; Track content usage and session feedback so you know what's working and what to retire; Use AI tools to build smarter workflows and move faster, both in your own work and in what you build for the team

Requirements

2-4 years in technical enablement, solutions engineering, sales engineering, technical training, or another role enabling technical seller personas; Strong technical aptitude and curiosity. You don't need to be an engineer, but you're comfortable going deep on a complex product and turning that into accurate, credible enablement; Comfortable building things yourself: prototyping a demo, scripting an automation, standing up a lightweight tool. You don't need to ship production code, but you can hold your own with people who do; Proven ability to design and deliver training for both technical and sales audiences, and to translate between them; Hands-on experience using AI in your own work, with real opinions on where it helps and where it doesn't; A builder's instinct for scale - you'd rather build a system once than run the same sessions manually forever; Comfortable being one of the founding enablement hires - no playbook to inherit, building from scratch, moving fast

Nice to have

Experience building with LLM APIs or agent frameworks (tool use, MCP, etc.), beyond just prompting; Experience delivering live technical training to mixed technical/non-technical audiences; Familiarity with vector search, embeddings, or neural search concepts
