Ready to drive real sales transformation across EMEA?
At Ricoh Europe, we’re on a mission to evolve how we sell—and we’re looking for a dynamic, forward-thinking Sales Enablement & Compensation Director to lead the charge. If you’re passionate about unlocking sales productivity, driving measurable performance, and crafting smart compensation models that reward growth, this could be your next big move.
This is a strategic leadership position that plays a key role in enabling our sales teams across EMEA to thrive in an evolving market. You’ll lead the design and execution of sales enablement programs and compensation frameworks that align with Ricoh’s shift towards annuity-driven, solution-led selling.
You’ll diagnose productivity gaps, empower teams with the skills and tools they need, and motivate through well-designed incentives. From implementing performance metrics to deploying gamification strategies and margin-driven comp plans, your work will directly impact how well we convert opportunities into profitable, long-term customer relationships.

* Drive efficiency metrics: more selling time, cleaner data, better forecasts
Compensation & Incentive Strategy
* Design global frameworks that reward profitable, value-based selling
* Shift focus toward managed services, SaaS, and consultative selling
* Balance global consistency with local OpCo flexibility
* Implement deal-based, CLV-focused incentives and accelerators
Gamification & Motivation Programs
* Launch gamified incentive programs to encourage strategic selling behaviours
* Tie incentives to outcomes like new logos, SaaS uptake, or multi-year contracts
* Track engagement and behaviour changes across regions
Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Align sales with marketing, product, and customer success teams
* Improve MQL to SQL conversion and post-sale satisfaction
* Foster shared KPIs across departments to drive unified success
You will ideally have
* An experienced commercial leader with deep B2B sales enablement and operations expertise
* Proven track record designing sales comp structures across international markets
* Skilled in sales tech, analytics, quota setting, and driving behaviour through incentives
* A change agent—strategic thinker, executional powerhouse, and cross-functional collaborator
* Comfortable operating in a matrixed, multinational environment with complex stakeholder dynamics
