Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.
We are hiring a Sales Enablement leader to architect the growth journey for our global sales organization. At Canonical, sales enablement isn't just about onboarding; it’s about ensuring our teams can articulate the complex value of Ubuntu, OpenStack, and AI infrastructure to the world’s most sophisticated tech leaders. You will act as a trusted partner to identify, scope, and implement tooling and workflow improvements that drive efficiency and reduce friction in the sales process. You will sit at the intersection of Product, Marketing, and Sales, transforming high-level strategy into actionable field excellence.
If you are an experienced leader ready to lead global strategy, you will find a high-performance environment that challenges you. You will work with Sales Leadership to identify performance gaps, reduce ramp time, improve productivity and increase win rates. This is a high-visibility role where you will ensure our "distributed-first" workforce remains the sharpest in the industry.
Location: These are EMEA-based remote roles.
We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
Canonical is a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source. As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open-source projects and the platform for AI, IoT, and the cloud, we are changing the world of software. We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company. We expect excellence; in order to succeed, we need to be the best at what we do. Most colleagues at Canonical have worked from home since our inception in 2004. Working here is a step into the future and will challenge you to think differently, work smarter, learn new skills, and raise your game.
