NerdWallet Small Business is the go-to financial resource for small businesses. We’re here to help entrepreneurs achieve their financial goals and grow businesses as big as their aspirations. As a catalyst for smart financial decisions, our combination of proprietary technology and financial expertise provides business owners with tailored solutions based on their unique needs and eligibility—helping them prosper, create more jobs, and, ultimately, grow the economy.
For our Director of Sales Enablement & Development role, we’re looking for a leader who can build and scale a high-performing sales organization. This is an opportunity to shape how our sales team hires, ramps, and executes—driving measurable impact on performance and revenue.
This is not a traditional L&D role.
You will own how our sales team performs—who we hire, how fast they ramp, how well they close, and how consistently they win.
You’ll design the system that turns raw talent into top producers—and you’ll be in the trenches making it happen.
If you’re the type who:
Gets frustrated watching average reps stay average
Believes most training is too soft, too slow, and too theoretical
Obsesses over conversion rates, talk tracks, and closing behavior
Wants direct accountability for revenue outcomes
…this role is built for you.
Where you can make an impact:
Build a High-Performance Sales Engine
Design and run a L&D strategy focused on revenue impact—not participation
Raise the bar on what “good” looks like across the entire sales org
Hold the line on performance standards
Upgrade Talent at the Source
Partner with recruiting to define who gets in—and who doesn’t
Build interview processes that filter for closers, not talkers
Continuously tighten hiring criteria based on real performance data
Create a Ruthless Onboarding & Ramp
Build onboarding that produces productive reps fast—or exposes misses early
Cut time-to-productivity without lowering the bar
Make ramp a proving ground, not a checkbox
Coach in the Trenches
Run live call reviews, deal breakdowns, and skill drills
Give direct, actionable feedback reps can’t ignore
Work with underperformers until they improve—or clearly don’t
Turn Data Into Pressure & Progress
Track conversion rates, pipeline movement, and output like a hawk
Identify exactly where reps lose deals—and fix it
Build playbooks based on what actually works, not theory
Systematize Winning Behavior
Extract what top performers do differently and scale it
Build repeatable frameworks that drive consistent execution
Eliminate randomness in performance
Build Stronger Sales Managers
Turn managers into real coaches—not just forecast owners
Create accountability systems that actually stick
Push leadership to maintain high standards
Leverage AI & Tools for an Edge
Use tools like Gong, ChatGPT, and Claude to sharpen messaging and feedback loops
Continuously improve how reps learn, practice, and execute
Your experience:
Experience in Business Lending/Lending required
5+ years in sales training, enablement, or sales leadership—preferably in high-volume environments
A track record of measurably improving sales performance (not just delivering training)
Strong instincts for diagnosing performance issues quickly and fixing them
Comfort operating in high-pressure, high-accountability environments
Experience working directly with reps—coaching, correcting, and pushing performance
Deep understanding of sales execution (not just theory)What makes you stand out:
Results-oriented mindset with a focus on impact and outcomes
Strong communicator who delivers clear, constructive feedback
Comfortable in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
Bias for action—tests, iterates, and adapts quickly
Ownership mentality with a proactive approach to problem-solving
What Sets You Apart
You care about results more than process
You’re direct, honest, and not afraid of hard conversations
You push people—and expect to be pushed back
You move fast, test often, and adjust based on what works
You take ownership when performance is off—and fix it
Bottom Line
This role is for someone who wants real ownership of sales performance—not just training programs.
If you want to build systems, raise standards, and directly impact revenue, you’ll thrive here.
If you’re looking for a softer, purely strategic L&D role—this isn’t it.
