Description
Fonoa is the Tax Operating System for autonomous tax. AI that tracks every rule, acts on every obligation, and proves every decision, built on modular infrastructure.
Fonoa's modules cover the full indirect tax lifecycle: tax ID validation, real-time tax determination, e-invoicing, and returns. All on one shared data model and integration, with one audit trail. Each added capability makes the others stronger.
Agents monitor obligations, populate returns, catch anomalies and assemble audit packs in seconds. The system does the work. Humans make the calls. That's autonomous tax.

THE ROLE
The Director of Sales Enablement will build Fonoa's enablement function from the ground up, as the first dedicated enablement hire, with full ownership, at an AI-native Tax OS in aggressive scale mode. This is a role about changing how the field actually sells, not producing content and training decks.
You'll take Fonoa's complex, multi-product story and make it simple, then turn that into how reps run discovery, qualify, and close. Working hands-on with Sales Leadership and frontline managers, you'll embed methodology (e.g. MEDDPICC), evolve early onboarding into repeatable ramp, and use field data to target the interventions that move deals.
A builder's role, for someone who's carried a number and can translate that into execution that scales.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Turn a complex story into a simple one
Take Fonoa's multi-product, multi-persona proposition (platform, tax engine, AI) and distil it into clear messages and narratives reps can actually use, tailored to each buyer from the CFO to the engineer
- Improve sales execution across the GTM organisation
Identify where deals stall or performance drops, and drive targeted improvements in how reps run discovery, qualification, and deal progression
- Embed consistent ways of selling
Operationalise methodologies (e.g. MEDDPICC) in a practical, repeatable way across teams
- Enable and scale through Sales Leadership
Partner with frontline managers to reinforce behaviours, coach reps, and drive accountability in the field
- Own onboarding and ramp effectiveness
Evolve bootcamps into structured, repeatable onboarding that reduces ramp time and improves early productivity
- Build a focused, high-impact enablement approach
Prioritise field impact over content creation, using tools and automation where they directly improve execution
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Able to take a complex, multi-product, multi-persona picture, cut through it to the one message that matters, and build a story around it, then teach that story to anyone, from a rep to an engineer
- Background as an AE, Sales Leader, or GTM operator with strong credibility in the field
- A track record of strong commercial execution before moving into enablement or GTM improvement work
- Thrive in high-growth, scale-up environments with rapid change and ambiguity
- Experience improving how sales teams execute, not just designing training or content
- Deep experience implementing sales methodologies (e.g. MEDDPICC, Challenger, Command of the Message)
- Strong understanding of enterprise SaaS sales cycles and buyer personas, especially CFO and finance stakeholders
- Proven ability to improve ramp time and sales productivity through practical, execution-focused approaches
- Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on in execution
- Strong cross-functional collaborator who can influence senior stakeholders
- Data-driven mindset with experience measuring enablement impact
