Senior Manager, Sales Enablement

Absorb is on a mission to the moon! We set lofty goals for ourselves and we knock those goals out of the park.
What I love the most about the path to those achievements is that we do it as a team.
We live and breathe the ethos that 'it takes a village'.
Our Account Management group isn't successful without the success from every single group at Absorb:
SDRs, Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Client Success Managers, Implementations, Billing, Accounting, Finance, etc.
We want to build each other up and empower each other to win.
We progress as a team and we win as a team.
