Director, Field Sales Enablement EMEA

About the Role As the Director of EMEA Field Enablement, you hold a high-impact role at the intersection of strategy and field execution. Rubrik is growing quickly, and the field needs a leader who can connect global corporate strategy with the realities of selling across EMEA’s different markets, buying cultures and levels of maturity. You will own the readiness and productivity of the EMEA sales organization. You’ll architect and scale enablement programs, from onboarding for new hires through to advanced value selling for tenured sellers. The goal is that every Account Executive can clearly communicate Rubrik’s Zero Trust Data Security and AI-driven resilience story to the organizations, from hospitals to governments to financial institutions, that rely on us to keep operating. You’ll work directly with the GVP of EMEA and regional sales leaders, with the backing of Global Enablement and the autonomy to decide what your theater needs. What you build will show up in ramp time, win rates and quota attainment.

Qualifications & Experience • Experience: 10+ years in Sales Enablement, a Sales role and/or Sales Leadership within a high-growth SaaS or cybersecurity environment. • Leadership: 5 years leading sales teams, with a proven ability to lead through influence rather than authority. • Program Design: A track record of building and scaling enablement programs, from onboarding through advanced selling, that measurably improved sales performance. • Methodology: Hands-on experience driving adoption of a structured sales methodology such as MEDDPICC or Command of the Message. • Market Knowledge: A deep understanding of the EMEA sales landscape, regional business practices and the competitive cybersecurity market. • Technical Stack: Proficiency with Salesforce and AI-forward CMS/LMS platforms.
