Smartly is looking for a Senior Commercial Activation Lead to help turn our most important go-to-market priorities into clear, actionable commercial motions for our revenue teams. This role sits within Commercial Enablement and partners closely across Sales, Customer Success, Agency, Partnerships, Product Marketing, Product, and Commercial leadership. The focus is not simply creating enablement materials or delivering training. The focus is driving field readiness, adoption, and execution against the commercial priorities that matter most. The ideal candidate is a senior commercial operator: structured, proactive, collaborative, and comfortable building from ambiguity.

Use AI and enablement systems to reduce manual work, improve content reuse, surface commercial insights, and make guidance easier to find, trust, and apply. Act as a senior partner within Commercial Enablement, helping raise the quality bar, improve cross-functional ways of working, and strengthen the function’s commercial impact. What Success Looks Like You bring structure to ambiguous commercial priorities and turn them into clear plans, owners, timelines, field actions, and success measures. Revenue teams understand what to do, why it matters, and how to execute. Commercial leaders have better visibility into activation progress, adoption gaps, blockers, and risks. Product and PMM inputs become practical field guidance, not just launch announcements or slide decks.
