Job description

When you join Verizon

You want more out of a career. A place to share your ideas freely — even if they’re daring or different. Where the true you can learn, grow, and thrive. At Verizon, we power and empower how people live, work and play by connecting them to what brings them joy. We do what we love — driving innovation, creativity, and impact in the world. Our V Team is a community of people who anticipate, lead, and believe that listening is where learning begins. In crisis and in celebration, we come together — lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the #VTeamLife.

Verizon Connect is hiring an Associate Director, Customer Enablement. As Associate Director, Customer Enablement, you will own how every one of our customers learns our products, inside the product and outside it. You will lead a team with strategists instructional designers, and enablement delivery experts. Together you will build one connected enablement experience that reaches fleet managers, dispatchers, drivers and executives, from small businesses to Enterprise and public sector fleets, and from first login through renewal. Your success will be measured by what customers do: faster time to value, deeper product adoption, fewer support contacts and stronger retention.

We move fast, and every leader here is both an expert and a builder. You will set the strategy and still build, write, record or deliver yourself when the work calls for it.

You'll be:

•Setting the customer enablement strategy and roadmap, and choosing the right mix of in-product guidance, self-serve learning, on-demand video, live virtual and instructor-led training for each segment and role.

•Putting learning where the work happens by partnering with Product and UX to embed contextual, mobile-ready guidance in the product, triggered by customer behavior and governed so it helps rather than distracts.

•Running content like a product: Delivering a useful version in days, launching enablement with every release, using AI to speed production with human review, and retiring what is stale.

•Proving impact by connecting learning data to product usage, account health and support data, testing what works, and reporting to executives on adoption, retention and cost to serve.

•Leading, coaching and raising the bar for your team, managing tools, vendors and budget, and working as one with Customer Success, Support, Product, Marketing and internal enablement so employees and customers learn the same thing.

What we're looking for...

You start from what the customer is trying to get done, not from a course catalog. You ship this week and improve next week. You would rather remove a step from the product than write a tutorial explaining it, and you judge your work by what customers do differently, not by what you published.

You'll need to have:

•Bachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.

•Ten or more years of relevant work experience in customer education, customer enablement or digital adoption for a B2B software or technology product.

•Five or more years of experience leading teams, including managers and senior individual contributors.

•Experience building customer enablement both inside a product and outside it, across self-serve, live and instructor-led formats.

•Experience improving a business metric through enablement, such as adoption, time to value, support volume or retention, and measuring the result.

•Hands-on experience with a learning platform, an in-product guidance tool, and current authoring and video tools.

•Experience using AI to produce and deliver customer-facing content, with quality controls in place.

•Experience working with product usage, CRM or customer success data to make decisions.

•Experience influencing a product roadmap and partnering with Product, Customer Success and Support leaders.

•Willingness to travel.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

•Experience with fleet, telematics, field service, logistics or another product that combines software with hardware in the field.

•Experience enabling frontline or mobile-first users who are not at a desk.

•Experience designing different enablement models for small business and Enterprise customers.

•A background in product management, UX or growth alongside learning.

•Experience building a customer certification, champion program or customer community.

•Experience with localization and delivery across regions and languages.

•Experience with paid training or enablement services.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.

Where you’ll be working

In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies.
