This is a role about changing how the field actually sells, not producing content and training decks. You'll take Fonoa's complex, multi-product story and make it simple, then turn that into how reps run discovery, qualify, and close. Working hands-on with Sales Leadership and frontline managers, you'll embed methodology (e.g. MEDDPICC), evolve early onboarding into repeatable ramp, and use field data to target the interventions that move deals. A builder's role, for someone who's carried a number and can translate that into execution that scales.
