Additional definitions for enablement at the senior levels

Logan Stucker requested to merge master-patch-0ed1 into master

Why is this change being made?

After many discussions with new hires (both in and out of the associate program) they often felt like they were lacking knowledge/guidance in their first few months at GitLab. I brought this up to a few senior SAs and they said they would love to help, but feel pressured to spend most of their time working with customers to land sales. This change aims to set the expectation that senior and above SAs will spend time on enablement now that the org is hiring more inexperienced people.
