Why You’ll Love This Role
Cribl is seeking an experienced Senior Partner Enablement Manager to serve as the program architect and orchestrator of our unified Partner Enablement Framework. This role is responsible for building, managing, and executing the cross-partner enablement strategy—including onboarding, certifications, delivery readiness, co-sell training, and ongoing partner communications.

Act as a champion for the Partner community’s needs and priorities.

- Content & Curriculum Management:

- Maintain single-source-of-truth repositories for partner learning and sales/technical readiness.
- Partner Experience & Impact Measurement:
