Head of GTM Strategy & Enablement

Eightfold•Atlanta, GA

7d•Hybrid

About The Position

Eightfold AI is the category-defining Talent Intelligence platform, helping the world's largest enterprises hire, develop, and retain their workforce through AI. We are now leading the next chapter of that transformation — the agentic workforce — and the GTM Strategy & Enablement function is the internal engine that turns strategy into field execution at scale. This is a build role at the center of how Eightfold goes to market. You will own GTM strategy, business transformation for the agentic motion, enablement and programs, and the value playbook and methodology that travels across every customer-facing function. You will be the strategic architect of the field motion — the leader who makes sure that what gets decided in strategy actually shows up in the field, in the customer conversation, and in the revenue. You will report directly to the Chief Growth Officer and operate as a peer to the leaders of Customer Value, Customer Adoption, and Customer Growth. Be the strategic and operating engine behind the Growth organization. Translate strategy into field-ready playbooks, enable every customer-facing role, and lead the cross-functional choreography that makes the agentic business transformation real for our customers and our field.

Requirements

15+ years of enterprise SaaS experience, with at least 5 years leading GTM strategy, revenue operations, sales enablement, or business transformation functions at senior leadership scope
Proven track record of standing up or scaling a GTM strategy and enablement function inside a high-growth enterprise software company — ideally during a category shift or platform transition
Demonstrated experience leading an enterprise business transformation program with measurable field impact — not just slideware, but real changes to how the field operates
Deep fluency with field enablement, sales methodology, and the operating disciplines (forecasting, capacity, segmentation) that make a revenue org predictable
Experience owning value engineering methodology, value selling programs, or comparable financial-modeling-meets-sales disciplines
Strong cross-functional leadership instincts — you have run interlocks with Product, Marketing, Sales, and Finance, and earned credibility with all of them
Fluency with AI, agentic, or platform products — you can sit with Product leaders and translate roadmap into field-ready motion
Track record of building enablement programs that demonstrably moved field performance, not just satisfaction scores
Executive presence to operate as a peer to functional leaders across the company and to represent the Growth Org externally when needed
Analytical rigor — you reason from data, build the dashboards that drive decisions, and hold your team to the same standard
Bachelor's degree required

Nice To Haves

MBA or equivalent strategic leadership experience preferred (consulting, strategy, or operating-role background welcome)

Responsibilities

Define and steward the strategic plan for the Growth Org — retention, expansion, agentic adoption, and the connective tissue that links them
Build the analytical foundation: segmentation, coverage models, capacity planning, and the strategic narratives that travel to the board
Translate market shifts and competitive moves into actionable changes inside the field motion
Partner with the CGO on annual planning, FY commits, and the strategic roadmap for the function
Own the operating model that connects Growth to Product, Marketing, new-business Sales, Finance, and Legal
Build the rhythms, interlocks, and shared dashboards that make cross-functional execution predictable
Be the single point of orchestration when strategic initiatives require coordinated action across the company
Resolve organizational friction before it shows up in customer conversations or in the field number
Own the internal transformation program that re-tools the Growth motion for the agentic workforce era — new roles, new skills, new playbooks, new measurement
Build the change management plan that takes the field from selling traditional SaaS to selling and delivering agentic outcomes
Partner with Customer Adoption on the external category-building motion (Agent Academy, customer councils) and own the matching internal motion for Eightfold's own teams
Make the agentic operating model real inside the Growth Org — not as a slide, but as how people actually work
Build the enablement engine for every customer-facing role in the Growth Org — onboarding, certification, ongoing skill-building, and refresh cycles
Design and run the programs that consistently raise the bar on field execution: discovery, value selling, executive presence, agentic fluency
Build the content, the certifications, and the measurement framework that connect enablement investment to field performance
Partner with Product Marketing on launch enablement so every new product, feature, or motion lands cleanly in the field
Build the value methodology that powers every customer conversation — the frameworks, models, and benchmarks the field reuses across deals
Codify the value playbook so it travels from pre-sale into post-sale and back — quantified at every stage of the customer lifecycle
Partner with Customer Growth on the applied side of Value Engineering (the in-deal business case) and own the methodology, training, and tooling that make it repeatable
Be the keeper of the value system: how Eightfold articulates outcomes, ROI, and customer success in financial terms
Hire, structure, and lead a high-performing team of strategy leaders, enablement leaders, transformation program leaders, and value engineering methodology owners
Set the talent bar and the culture for an internal engine function that earns its credibility from the field every day
Develop the next generation of leaders inside the function
