The Regional Enablement Leader, EMEA
The Regional Enablement Leader, EMEA will spearhead our enablement strategy and execution across the EMEA region. This is a critical people leadership role responsible for acting as the EMEA "Pod Leader." You will partner closely with the SVP of EMEA, the senior director of Sales Ops, and regional senior Sales Leaders to improve sales productivity, capability, and performance.
As the Pod Leader, you will act as the linchpin between global mandates and regional necessities. You will lead a dedicated regional team and orchestrate a wider cross-functional network to ensure that both global CRO priorities and regional SVP strategies are harmonized into one cohesive, high-impact enablement plan. You will also act as an Enablement Business Partner within the region. The Enablement Business Partner (EBP) team bridges global enablement strategies with field execution. They act as trusted advisors to sales leaders, tailoring programs to regional and segment-specific needs. Focused on collaboration, alignment, and measurable impact, EBPs drive knowledge retention, skill development, and performance improvement to empower our teams.

• Agile Resource Allocation: Ensure the Pod executes on the CRO's global priorities as mission-critical. Effectively assess and manage your team’s capacity, taking any remaining discretionary time to build, assign, and execute regionally focused programs that directly support the SVP of EMEA's strategy.
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Act as the ultimate conductor for regional readiness by orchestrating resources far beyond the remit of your direct reports. Bring together sta
