About the Team

You will join the EMEA Sales Enablement team — a group of experienced professionals and trusted strategic partners to regional and local Sales Leaders. Our mission is to equip sales teams across Consumer and Commercial PBUs with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to successfully engage buyers, drive revenue, and continuously improve their sales capabilities.

We take a consultative and programmatic approach focused on execution excellence, business impact, cross-functional collaboration, actionable insights, innovation, and a continuous growth mindset.

The Role

As the Lead Sales Competencies Enablement EMEA, you will own the design, delivery, and measurement of onboarding, sales talent development, and competency programs for Field Sales teams across EMEA. You will partner closely with local HUB Sales Leaders and Enablement teams to advance talent at every stage of the sales lifecycle, supporting a dynamic, multi-channel sales force in a highly competitive and evolving market.

This is an individual contributor role with strong cross-functional influence — you will not directly manage a team but will lead through collaboration, alignment, and thought leadership.

• Maintain an annual EMEA Enablement Program Roadmap and training calendar, including coordination with third parties and alignment on delivery dates.
• Manage translation needs for program content across key European languages.

Deployment & Execution

• Launch, implement, and drive adoption of all Sales Competency and Onboarding programs across EMEA markets.
• Collaborate with HUB Sales Leaders to ensure execution excellence, track progress, and apply corrective actions where needed.
• Support HUBs in leveraging the Goodyear Performance Development Process for tracking development progress.

Measurement & Continuous Improvement

• Embed robust enablement KPIs to monitor program impact on key sales metrics.
• Conduct post-program reviews with HUB Sales Leaders to capture insights, share best practices, and apply learnings for continuous improvement.
• Provide regular reporting on program influence, adoption, and outcomes
