The Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite, combined with powerful accelerators for cloud and process transformation, empowers organizations to streamline work, foster alignment, and drive business transformation at scale. We hold true to our core values: innovation in everything we do, passion & excellence in every area, individual empowerment, initiative and ownership, and teamwork over ego. At Lucid, we value diverse perspectives and are dedicated to creating an environment and culture that is respectful and inclusive for everyone. Lucid is a hybrid workplace. We promote a healthy work-life balance by allowing employees to work remotely, from one of our offices, or a combination of the two depending on the needs of the role and team.

We are looking for a hands-on, self-driven Sales Enablement Manager to lead the onboarding, performance coaching, and development and delivery of high-impact enablement programs for our Sales teams in EMEA.

As a member of the Field Enablement team, you will partner closely with EMEA sales leadership, frontline managers, cross-functional partners, and global enablement peers to equip sellers with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to execute consistently in the field. 

Your initiatives will concentrate on building and facilitating workshops, coaching reps and managers one-on-one, training and coaching new hires as they ramp, reinforcing our sales methodology, and translating global enablement priorities into practical, regionally-relevant deliverables.

The right person for this role is an excellent facilitator, strong coach, and credible partner to sales leaders. You are comfortable working with sales teams in a fast-paced B2B SaaS environment, and you know how to turn business priorities, performance gaps, and field feedback into enablement experiences that strengthen seller skills and results, enabling them to meet measurable performance targets. 

Your work will directly shape how quickly new sellers ramp, how rapidly the team applies our sales methodology and messaging, and how effectively EMEA sellers reach their targets. Your success will be measured on outcomes such as reduced time-to-productivity, adoption of messaging and tactics, and quota attainment trends, not just program completion.
