Founding Enablement Leader, Strategic Projects

About the role

This is the first dedicated enablement role on our Delivery team, the team of SPLs that are the commercial engine behind our growth. SPLs own a book of business, working directly with founders and senior talent leaders to drive the hires that generate Paraform's revenue—and the team is scaling rapidly (25 and counting!). You will be the owner of how SPLs are onboarded, ramped, and continuously developed. You will design the ramp that takes a new SPL from day one to first hire in record time, then build the ongoing training that keeps the whole team sharpening the core motions—from intake, to diagnosing stalling roles, to helping close exceptional talent. You will partner with Delivery leadership and our top-performing SPLs to turn what the best people do into a repeatable program. We have starting materials, but we are looking for someone creative, structured, warm, and hungry to help us keep raising the bar and scaling our incredibly talented SPL team. This role is based in our San Francisco office and is in-person, because building this function well means being close to the team.

Responsibilities

• Onboarding and ramp. Design and run the end-to-end onboarding program for new SPLs, with a clear path from day one to first hire and on to a full book.
• Ongoing training. Build continuous development for tenured SPLs, from live sessions and coaching to playbooks, certifications, and refreshers on the motions that move fill rate.
• Vertical training and expertise. Work with Vertical Leads (Senior SPLs / SPL Managers) to develop vertical-specific training so SPLs develop real domain fluency in the markets they recruit in, from AI/ML engineering to go-to-market and beyond. Define what great looks like in each vertical, and turn the strongest specialists' knowledge into programs the whole team can use.
• Quality and consistency. Define what great looks like for each core motion (intake calls, requirements, submissions, hiring manager management) and drive consistency across the whole team.
• Curriculum and materials. Turn tribal knowledge into structured, reusable content. Build the library, keep it current, and make it easy to find and use.
• Coaching and influence. Raise the team's expertise and their ability to influence stakeholders and partner with hiring managers, not just their command of the process.
• Measurement. Instrument ramp and training so you can show impact on ramp time, quality, and fill rate, then iterate based on what the data tells you.

Requirements

• You bring 4 to 7 years of relevant experience and have built enablement or L&D programs before, ideally at an early or founding stage where you owned the whole thing rather than one slice of it.
• You have a background in hiring, recruiting, or HR tech, or you can get fluent in the recruiting craft fast. You understand what it takes to hire and manage talent.
• You are a builder. You are comfortable starting from a blank page plus a few scattered materials, and turning that into a real, living program.
• You coach well. People trust you, learn from you, and change how they work because of you.
• You are data-minded. You measure whether your programs work, and you adjust when they do not.

Nice to have

• Experience enabling a marketplace, sales, or recruiting delivery organization.
• Comfort with the tools of the trade: LMS or content platforms, call review, and basic analytics.
• You have built learning or feedback systems using AI.
