Early Career Program Leader

Company Overview

Job Overview

Come join the Sales Onboarding organization as the Early Career program leader, a highly strategic role responsible for building two critical engines of sales performance and talent sustainability:

1. A best-in-class Early Career Program (ECP) that serves as a durable succession and talent pipeline for the sales organization
2. A portfolio of high-impact learning programs that transform training moments into memorable, outcome-driven experiences that participants talk about for years to come

This role sits at the intersection of talent strategy, learning design, and sales performance. It is accountable for attracting, developing, and graduating top early-career talent into the sales organization.

The ideal candidate is both a systems thinker and an operator — someone who can architect scalable programs, set a high talent bar, and deliver complex initiatives with excellence. This role is critical to reducing long-term reliance on external labor, increasing seller productivity, strengthening retention, and reinforcing a culture of merit-based growth and continuous learning.
