As the Enablement & CRM Lead for the Americas, you will act as a regional expert, facilitator, trainer, and trusted partner to ensure the effective, consistent, and value‑driven use of Microsoft Dynamics and Go‑To‑Market enablement tools across the end‑to‑end Lead‑to‑Cash lifecycle.

This role serves as the primary catalyst in the Americas to drive disciplined, insight‑driven lead management, opportunity execution, and customer handoffs, enabling measurable improvements in pipeline health, seller productivity, customer experience, and revenue outcomes.

The role will play a key part in embedding CRM and enablement platforms as the system of execution and source of truth, helping transition the region toward more data‑driven, intelligent sales workflows that reduce manual effort and improve decision quality.

The Lead is responsible for developing and executing regional enablement plans and partnering closely with subject matter experts (SMEs) and business stakeholders to successfully deploy solutions that simplify workflows, improve usability, and increase adoption across sales systems and processes.

To succeed in this role, you will be highly driven to:

• Establish and maintain data-driven, actionable regional enablement and CRM playbooks, incorporating best practices and clear in-flow guidance across Lead-to-Cash processes spanning Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service

Cross-Functional Partnership & Solution Deployment

• Partner with functional SMEs, Sales Operations, Marketing, Customer Service, IT, and Digital/Platform teams to support the design, testing, and deployment of solutions that simplify workflows, improve data capture, and enable more intelligent, insight-driven selling behaviors
• Roll out new enterprise platform capabilities, features, and process changes from Global Go-To-Market Enablement into the Americas region, including change communication, adoption support, and feedback loops to improve usability and e ectiveness
• Represent regional business needs, constraints, and enhancement requests to Global Enablement and Platform Product teams, including:
• Submitting and managing issue and enhancement tickets
• Requesting new functionality or integrations
• Providing practical input into platform and enablement roadmap priorities, with a focus on usability, data quality, and real-world adoption

Training, Adoption & Support

• Onboard new users across functions with role-based, scenario-driven training programs that reinforce CRM as the primary system for daily execution and decision-making
• Serve as the primary regional point of contact for end-user support, troubleshooting, and resolution of CRM and enablement-related operational issues
• Identify recurring issues and usage patterns to proactively improve workflows, usability, and adoption at scale
• Partner with regional Sales and Customer Service leaders to establish clear accountability, usage expectations, and adoption KPIs tied to business outcomes (e.g., conversion, cycle time, forecast reliability)

Data, Insights & Continuous Improvement

• Audit CRM usage, behaviors, and workflows to identify adoption gaps, ine iciencies, and sources of friction, using data and usage patterns to prioritize improvements
• Establish and execute ongoing data governance, quality, and hygiene routines, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and high confidence in data used for decision-making, forecasting, and analytics
• Identify and implement opportunities to enhance platform e iciency through workflow optimization, automation, and AI-supported or insight-driven capabilities, focusing on practical use cases that reduce manual effort and improve sales effectiveness

Platform Adoption & System Integration

• Support full platform adoption by embedding CRM and enablement tools into daily workflows, reinforcing the system as the primary source of truth and eliminating manual workarounds and low-value administrative effort
