Five9 is looking for a Sales Enablement Specialist to own sales execution enablement across all regions and segments of the business. This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Senior Director of Revenue Enablement.

You will work collaboratively to build the playbooks, training, and tools that drive consistent selling behavior, healthier pipeline, and better win rates — from discovery and qualification through proposal, negotiation, and close. That includes competitive enablement like battle cards and objection handling, deal planning and forecast inspection frameworks, and the coaching guides that give sales managers a consistent way to develop their own teams.

The right candidate has been close enough to a sales cycle to know what a seller actually reaches for mid-deal, and disciplined enough to prove a playbook is working with process adherence data, not course-completion counts. They are equally comfortable facilitating a training session and pulling a report on how enablement participation relates to win rate, deal size, and cycle time.

This role uses conversation intelligence data to find where coaching will move outcomes, not just where it’s easiest to deliver — targeting the specific skill gaps that separate a stalled deal from a closed one.
