Senior Product Enablement Manager

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Enablement Manager to join our Product Operations team and own Phorest’s global product enablement and education strategy.

Sitting within Product Operations, this senior individual contributor will ensure our product investments translate into confident teams, successful launches, and measurable customer value. You will play a key role in educating and preparing customer-facing teams for new product and feature launches—ensuring they have the knowledge, supporting collateral, guidance, and systems to confidently onboard, support, and grow customer adoption.

Partnering across Product, Product Marketing, Education, Support, Success, Growth, Sales, and Regional teams, you will establish scalable standards, establish our end-to-end product content strategy, drive digital adoption via tools like Pendo, and leverage AI to scale operational efficiency. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape internal product education, scale knowledge systems, and optimize product adoption globally.

• End-to-End Product Content Strategy: Own Phorest’s product content lifecycle—defining standards for Jira, Notion, release notes, feature catalogues, and release communications to ensure consistent product messaging across all internal and external touchpoints.
• Digital Adoption & Pendo Governance: Own the strategy and operating standards for Pendo and in-product guidance, utilizing digital adoption interventions to drive activation, engagement, and sustained feature usage.
• Data-Driven Outcomes & Feedback Loops: Define success metrics for enablement initiatives, combining product data, customer insights, and frontline feedback to diagnose adoption barriers and deliver targeted education programs.
• Product Expertise & AI Scaling: Serve as a senior product expert across Phorest products and industry workflows, while leveraging AI, automation, and operational improvements to increase enablement leverage and self-service.
