Job Description
About ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.
We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always.
We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:
ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.
ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.
Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.
How we work
High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.
AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.
Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.
Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.
What we offer
Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy.
Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.
About the role
We're hiring our first Partner Enablement Manager to build the foundation of how ElevenLabs enables, trains, and scales its global partner ecosystem. This is a 0-to-1 builder role. You will define the strategy, build the infrastructure, and execute hands-on as we scale.
What sets this role apart: we're looking for someone with a technical foundation. You've been in the room for complex API integrations, agent deployments, or voice AI implementations. You understand what it takes for a partner's solutions engineer to confidently build and demo on our platform — because you've been that person. You'll translate that credibility into world-class enablement that bridges the gap between product capability and partner execution.
In this role, you will architect the learning engine that powers our partner motion — defining the systems, standards, and infrastructure that enable partners to perform at scale. You will translate our rapid product velocity into clear, high-impact enablement that ensures partners can sell and deliver ElevenLabs as effectively as our internal teams.
This role sits within GTM Enablement and reports to the GTM Enablement Lead (based in Europe). You will work in close partnership with:
Partner Revenue Leads (owning partner pipeline and commercial strategy)
Partner Success Manager (owning partner adoption, outcomes, and long-term success)
You will support a global network of resellers, systems integrators (SIs), and technology partners.
While partner enablement is your primary focus, you'll also support internal GTM enablement across AE, SDR, and CSM roles as needs arise. This is a full-stack enablement role on a lean team — you'll build content, deliver training, design e-learning, and flex across audiences as the business requires.
This is a player-coach role: no direct reports initially, but with a clear path to building a team as the partner ecosystem scales.
What you'll do
Own the Partner Enablement Foundation
Design and own ElevenLabs' global partner enablement strategy across onboarding, certification, and ongoing mastery
Define what "Partner Ready" means at ElevenLabs and build the path to get partners there
Establish scalable frameworks that support multiple partner types (resellers, SIs, technology partners)
Build Partner Onboarding & Certification
Create structured onboarding journeys for new partners, with dedicated role-based tracks for Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Delivery
Design and maintain partner certification programs — including a Technical Certification covering API integration, agent configuration, voice AI deployment, and solution architecture
Build hands-on labs, sandbox environments, and technical exercises that give partner SEs real implementation experience before they go to market
Ensure partners can confidently pitch, demo, scope, and build ElevenLabs solutions end-to-end
Establish the Partner Academy
Own and evolve the partner learning infrastructure (LMS / PRM)
Enable scalable, self-serve onboarding, certification, and continuous learning for thousands of external partner users
Partner with internal teams to ensure content remains accurate, current, and aligned with product evolution
Enable the Commercial Motion
Partner closely with Partner Revenue Leads to align enablement with pipeline motions, target accounts, and priority use cases
Develop partner-facing sales assets including technical playbooks, integration guides, architecture blueprints, demo scripts, discovery guides, competitive positioning, and use-case narratives
Ensure partners understand not just who to sell to and why ElevenLabs wins — but how to architect and implement solutions that land and expand
Create High-Quality Enablement Content
Build and maintain enablement materials including playbooks, training decks, videos, workshops, and LMS content
Collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, and Product to translate messaging and roadmap updates into partner-ready materials
Leverage ElevenLabs AI in Enablement
Use ElevenLabs' voice and agent technology to create localized, voice-enabled training content
Demonstrate the power of the ElevenLabs platform through the enablement experience itself
Deliver Live & Async Training
Facilitate live virtual partner trainings, technical workshops, certifications, and workshops across regions and time zones
Design async learning paths that scale globally
Measure & Improve Partner Readiness
Define and track enablement KPIs such as Partner Time-to-First-Deal, Certification Completion Rates, Technical Certification Pass Rates, Partner-sourced Deal Velocity, and Post-Implementation Quality Scores
Partner with Partner Success to connect enablement efforts to partner performance outcomes
Use data and feedback to continuously iterate and improve programs
Support Internal GTM Enablement
Partner with GTM Enablement Leads to deliver programs for internal sellers when capacity or expertise is needed — whether that's SDR skill-building, AE deal execution, or CS expansion plays
Flex across internal and external audiences as priorities shift
Shape the Function
Help define how Partner Enablement evolves as the ecosystem scales
Document best practices, establish operating rhythms, and influence future team structure and hiring
What success looks like (first 6–9 months)
80%+ of strategic partners certified across Sales & Technical tracks
Partner time-to-first-deal < 90 days
Enablement directly supporting $XM+ in partner-sourced pipeline
Fully launched Partner Academy (LMS/PRM) with global adoption
Clear, repeatable "how to sell ElevenLabs" playbooks across top use cases
Requirements
4–7+ years of experience in partner enablement, solutions engineering, implementation, customer enablement, sales enablement, partner programs, or GTM enablement in a SaaS or platform company
At least 2 years enabling channel, services, or technology partners
Hands-on comfort with APIs, webhooks, developer tooling, and modern AI/ML platforms — you can read API docs, run a Postman collection, and credibly lead a technical workshop
Proven experience building enablement programs from scratch in fast-moving environments
Full-stack enablement skills: live facilitation, content creation, e-learning development, and presentation design
Strong understanding of B2B SaaS sales motions and partner-led growth
Experience designing both live and self-serve training, including certification programs
Confident facilitator and presenter for global, external audiences
Strong stakeholder management skills across Revenue, Partner, Product, and Marketing teams
Analytical mindset with experience defining and tracking enablement effectiveness
Comfortable operating across global time zones and cultures
Fluency in English; additional languages are a plus
Location
Remote-first, globally distributed role.
We have a strong preference for candidates based in Europe or the UK, to enable close collaboration with:
Exceptional candidates outside Europe will be considered if they can operate effectively across European and US time zones.
