Global Sales Manager (AI / Digital Expertise)

This position is onsite in Beaverton. OR for the hybrid schedule. Ideally local candidates.

This position requires excellent communication, stakeholder facing responsibilities, and cross-functional collaboration. 

This role operates within Global Sales while working extensively across Global Tech, Business Intelligence, Supply Chain, Brand, Legal, AI Governance, Enterprise AI, and other partners.

Key skills, experience, and qualifications include:

·         Proven ability to lead large-scale, cross-functional initiatives without direct authority

·         Strong fluency in AI concepts, data foundations, and responsible governance applied in a business context

·         Demonstrated program and operating-cadence management, running recurring forums, intake, and reporting rhythms

·         Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to executive and non-technical audiences

·         Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, experience, and training

WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

You will lead the operational delivery of the Global Sales AI agenda during the coverage period, with the Sales AI Lab as your primary focus. You will operate at the intersection of enablement, governance, and execution, keeping the Lab running, advancing the initiatives already underway, and ensuring AI continues to deliver value across Sales. You will stay engaged with the full scope of the Global Sales AI agenda, though prioritization of the broader focus areas remains with their respective owners except where the work is Lab related.

Key responsibilities include:

·         Leading the Sales AI Lab in its early stages, acting as the operational point person that connects business needs to the Lab and drives participation across geographies

·         Driving the Lab’s operating cadence, including bi-weekly working sessions, monthly intake reviews, and quarterly leadership readouts, plus mid-quarter stakeholder check-ins

·         Helping define and align the business cases that come out of the Lab, ensuring each is tied to a clear owner and to Revenue, Time Recovered, or Capability outcomes

·         Managing the governed intake-to-scale process (submit, evaluate, route, build, catalog, scale) so work stays visible, reusable, and appropriately governed

·         Partnering with Legal, AI Governance, Enterprise AI, and IT partners to ensure responsible, compliant, and scalable AI adoption and to manage enterprise scale-up handoffs

·         Acting as a trusted point of contact for senior leaders and geo sponsors, providing status, surfacing risks, and maintaining continuity throughout the coverage period

·         Empowering and enabling Sales teams, builders, trainers, and leads, through approved tools, training, and hands-on support

·         Representing Global Sales in enterprise AI forums to keep the Lab connected to broader AI direction and standards
