At GP Corrugated, we operate by the principles of Principle Based Management™ (PBM), a philosophy that empowers individuals to innovate, create long-term value, and drive transformation. As the Manager, Sales Force Effectiveness (SFE), you will play a critical role in strengthening sales capability across the organization through three core pillars: new seller onboarding, ongoing productivity and effectiveness, and leadership development. In this role, you’ll partner closely with front-line sales managers to enhance their coaching and leadership capabilities, enabling them to effectively develop sellers, reinforce commercial priorities, and sustain strong execution amid ongoing change and growth.

In addition to owning the seller onboarding and field reinforcement, this role is intentionally designed to develop current, new, and future sales leaders, ensuring managers are equipped to lead high-performing teams over time. By combining onboarding leadership, productivity enablement, and a “coach-the-coach” approach, you’ll help both sellers and managers execute with consistency, accountability, and confidence. This Atlanta-based, hybrid role reports to the Director of Marketing & Sales Force Effectiveness and serves as an individual contributor, providing enterprise-level sales enablement leadership and support to our domestic sales organization.
