- Work with Product, Marketing, and Support to turn customer feedback into product, process, and content improvements.
- Evaluate and implement enablement tooling as needs grow, including whether a learning platform, content platform, or conversation intelligence tool is worth adding, and hire and manage enablement specialists as the function scales.
