About the role
Summary
Yelp is seeking a Sales Enablement Manager to lead our team of Sales Enablement Specialists supporting the Emerging and Partner & Agency Sales teams. This position is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll set team priorities, refine processes, and ensure high-impact enablement that aligns with business goals. The Sales Enablement Manager will be revenue-focused, working in partnership with sales leadership to develop programming that aligns with sales strategies to drive sales outcomes, including increasing rep productivity rates and increasing GTM proficiency.
The ideal candidate has proven experience managing and scaling enablement teams, excellent communication skills, and a strategic mindset with a passion for data and innovation—including AI and best-in-class sales practices.
You’ll have the opportunity to build and lead your own team, develop curriculums for sales enablement (from online modules to in-person sessions), and own all aspects of content development, delivery, and measurement. You will act as a player-coach: setting team strategy, guiding day-to-day execution, and helping your direct reports grow their impact and careers.
This role reports to the Sr. Director of Sales Enablement, Multi Location Sales.
We’d love to have you apply, even if you don’t feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we’re looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes. This is a full-time remote role based in the United States.

Develop and report on team and program metrics to demonstrate effectiveness and ROI
Gather feedback from stakeholders and use data-driven insights to improve and innovate enablement offerings
