As an Enablement Consultant at Thunder, you will play a critical role in driving successful user adoption following the implementation of new Salesforce solutions.

Your work will begin with a deep understanding of the impacted user groups, including their current tools, processes, and pain points. From there, you'll assess the future-state changes introduced by the new Salesforce solution, clearly articulating the benefits and rationale for these changes. Based on this insight, you'll develop and execute a customized enablement and change management strategy designed to guide users smoothly through the transition. The ideal candidate brings a human-centered approach to change management, executive-level facilitation skills, and hands-on experience creating and delivering enablement programs for complex enterprise Salesforce implementations.

- Develop engaging training materials, including user guides, tip sheets and quick reference guides, tutorials, and video content, to support the learning process
- Lead Organizational Change Management (OCM) efforts, including stakeholder alignment, Impact Analysis, readiness assessments, and change agent enablement
- Maintain clear communication and collaboration with internal Thunder teams and client business leads throughout the lifecycle of training development
- Evaluate training effectiveness through weekly touchpoints and feedback survey data; iterate and adapt approaches accordingly
- Develop and maintain a repository of training resources and documentation for ongoing client support
- Maintain a deep understanding of Salesforce and AWS capabilities, features, and best practices, incorporating the latest into training modules
Qualifications:
- 5–7+ years of experience leading change management, enablement, or training workstreams within the Salesforce Partner ecosystem
- Deep familiarity with Salesforce multi-cloud implementations; experience with Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, ARM/Revenue Cloud, Data 360, and/or Marketing Cloud strongly preferred
- Experience training on Agentforce or other AI platforms (highly desirable)
- Experience with video editing tools, virtual meeting platforms, and curriculum development tools (preferably Google Suite, Camtasia, Articulate, Audiate, Canva, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Mural).
- Strong executive facilitation skills — comfortable leading workshops and interviews with C-suite and senior stakeholders
- Experience with impact analysis, persona development, and activation and communication planning
- Proven ability to create and deliver engaging training materials: eLearning modules, Leaders Notes, QRGs, Tipsheets, Playbooks, and Train the Trainer programs
- Strong storyboarding and content creation skills; experience with elearning authoring tools a plus
- Prosci / ADKAR certification strongly preferred
- History of leading dynamic, digital-first enablement experiences using collaboration tools
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, client-facing, team-oriented delivery environment
