Job Description

We’re seeking a Sales Enablement Specialist who will help equip our commercial teams with the knowledge, skills, content, tools, and communications they need to perform effectively across the client lifecycle. Working in close partnership with Product, Marketing, and Commercial Leadership, you will deliver the onboarding, ongoing learning, content and knowledge management, technology and process adoption, and commercial communications that improve sales productivity, accelerate ramp-to-performance, and drive consistent execution across our commercial teams.

Why join Mintel? We are the world's leading market intelligence agency and technology underpins our success. We help our clients understand consumers and consumer markets and aspire to provide the market intelligence behind every great business decision.

What You’ll Do:

Onboarding & certification

  • Design and facilitate structured onboarding programmes and certification paths across sales segments.
  • Define and track key ramp metrics — including time-to-first-deal and time-to-productivity and continuously optimise onboarding based on performance data and feedback.

Ongoing learning & capability development

  • Design and deliver ongoing learning that reinforces commercial skills, product knowledge, and sales methodologies, through workshops, webinars, and certification activities focused on consultative selling and commercial best practice.
  • Maintain annual enablement calendars and structured learning pathways, and measure participation, knowledge retention, and training effectiveness.

Content & knowledge management

  • Partner with Product Marketing, Commercial Leadership, and Sales Excellence to translate product updates, market trends, and competitive insight into sales-ready content — playbooks, battlecards, messaging guides, discovery frameworks, and objection-handling resources.
  • Act as steward of commercial knowledge management: keeping content current, accessible, and well-governed, and establishing processes for content creation, review, approval, and retirement.

Technology & process adoption

  • Train teams on CRM systems and sales tools (e.g. Salesforce, Dynamics), support CRM hygiene, and advocate for tool adoption through change-management and user-engagement activities.
  • Support the roll-out of new commercial processes and technologies with communication, training, and adoption plans, gathering feedback to identify and remove barriers to adoption.

Commercial communications & alignment

  • Own a centralised communication channel and single source of truth for commercial updates, coordinating timing to keep Sales, Client Success, Client Support, and Product Support aligned.
  • Act as a central coordination point for enablement activity, sharing best practice across commercial teams and regions.

Measurement & continuous improvement

  • Monitor and report on enablement effectiveness across onboarding, learning, content, tools, and communications — analysing adoption, participation, utilisation, certification completion, and readiness.
  • Produce quarterly enablement scorecards and recommend improvements based on performance insight.
  • You’re curious and unafraid to challenge assumptions.
  • You do your best work alongside others and share knowledge openly.
  • You value rigour and quality, and build on what’s proven.
  • You experiment, take initiative, and learn quickly from what doesn’t work.

What We’re Looking For:

Skills & competencies

  • Programme and instructional design, with a talent for translating complex information into practical, sales-ready resources.
  • Change management and adoption strategy.
  • Content strategy and knowledge management.
  • Project and programme management.
  • Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, with excellent organisational and delivery capabilities.
  • Proficiency in CRM systems and Microsoft tools; familiarity with SharePoint or similar content-management platforms.
  • Data literacy; able to interpret and report on performance metrics and dashboards.
  • Strong collaboration and stakeholder management across Product, Marketing, and Commercial Leadership.

Experience & qualifications

  • 3–5+ years in Sales Enablement, Learning & Development, Sales Operations, Commercial Excellence, or a related commercial role — ideally in a B2B environment.
  • Experience designing and delivering onboarding, training, or professional-development programmes.
  • Experience managing content repositories, playbooks, or knowledge-management systems.
  • Experience supporting CRM and commercial-technology adoption initiatives.
  • A track record of influencing stakeholders across functions and managing cross-functional initiatives.
  • Experience in internal or change communications (desirable).
  • A proven track record of improving seller readiness, onboarding outcomes, content adoption, or commercial productivity.

About Mintel

Market Intelligence is what sets us apart and what defines us as a brand – literally in fact: when the company was founded in 1972 it took its name from an amalgamation of the two words. We have been defining and refining the Market Intelligence Mix ever since, to offer our clients a unique perspective on the consumer landscape ahead and a clear roadmap with which to navigate it.

So what goes into the market intelligence mix?

MARKET RESEARCH is not the only thing we do, but it is right at the core of our business. The vast range of primary research we carry out and commission is the bedrock of our market intelligence, creating data series we can assess incrementally over the long term to track trends and forecast the future.

MARKET ANALYSIS is the second key element of the market intelligence mix. Our specialist team of market analysts scours the globe for trade, industry and government data, which our statisticians then integrate into meaningful sizing models and future value forecasts for thousands of sectors worldwide.

PRODUCT INTELLIGENCE adds micro-level relevance to the macro context of our market analysis, bringing our clients real-world examples of the launches and goods that are driving the numbers.

COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE is the fourth pillar of our work, keeping our clients abreast of their rivals’ strategies, communications and results, to give them the understanding they need to choose the right response to gain or maintain that crucial competitive edge.

The magic happens when we pull them all together. Trend analysts, category specialists, systems developers, dedicated account teams and client servicing staff work together to provide our clients with understanding as well as knowledge.

That’s our Market Intelligence. That’s how we help businesses grow. It’s why we’re the leaders in it.
