Product Enablement Manager

Cato Networks

About The Position

We’re looking for a strategic, execution-focused Product Enablement Manager to lead our efforts in educating technical users — customers, partners, and internal teams — on how to successfully use and adopt the Cato platform. This role sits at the intersection of product, education, customer success, and enablement operations. You will own Product Enablement end-to-end: from self-paced learning and product update enablement to hands-on labs, technical certification, content systems, and scalable enablement processes. This is a leadership role, but not a hands-off management role. The right person will balance team leadership with direct contribution. You should be comfortable setting direction, managing priorities, and building sustainable systems, while also reviewing content, improving learning experiences, solving operational gaps, and jumping in when needed. Cato moves fast. We value practical execution: build quickly, validate what works, and mature successful initiatives into robust, repeatable systems. We are not looking for someone who over-engineers long-term solutions before proving value, nor someone who relies only on ad-hoc execution without building for scale.

Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to align Product, GTM, Support, Customer Success, and partner-facing teams.
