'enlists the help' is the definition.
'ropes in' can be an answer for 'enlists'. I'm not certain of the 'the help' bit.

'person i work with' is the wordplay.
'work with' indicates an anagram.
'person'+'i'='personi'
'personi' with letters rearranged gives 'ROPES IN'.

'of the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ropes in that I've seen before include "Involves" , "Gets involved" , "Recruits" .)
