Programme Manager - Sales Engineering Enablement

At Mimecast, our mission is clear: we stop bad things from happening to good organisations. With over 40,000 customers worldwide, we empower businesses to be more resilient against cyber threats and ensure business continuity. We’re innovators, collaborators, and problem-solvers who thrive in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment.

We’re looking for a driven Programme Manager to join our Global Enablement team. This role is built for someone who brings the best of both worlds: real-world experience in Sales Engineering and a proven ability to design and deliver enablement that drives results.

You understand the SE motion from the inside - what great technical selling looks like, what makes onboarding sink or swim, and where knowledge gaps slow deals down. And you know how to turn that insight into structured, scalable learning experiences. Now you’ll bring both skill sets to bear, building programmes that make a measurable difference for Mimecast’s Sales Engineering teams globally.

• Deliver and continuously improve the onboarding programme for new Sales Engineers and internal transfers, helping them ramp quickly and contribute to customer success.
• Apply your firsthand SE experience to identify what new hires truly need to know - and sequence it in a way that sticks.
• Partner with SE managers to calibrate onboarding milestones and gather feedback that drives continuous improvement.

• Curate and create tailored learning experiences for Sales Engineers and front-line SE managers at every stage of the sales process.
• Translate complex technical concepts and sales methodologies into clear, practical content that resonates with technical audiences.
• Develop content using AI tools and emerging instructional approaches - curiosity and willingness to learn new design techniques matter more than a formal ID background.

• Use team-established metrics to measure adoption and effectiveness of enablement programmes.
• Report on programme performance and surface insights that help the team make data-informed adjustments.
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by sharing what’s working and what isn’t.

• Partner with Sales Engineers, SE managers, and enablement counterparts to identify gaps and align initiatives.
• Contribute to global consistency in enablement content and programmes, avoiding duplication and building on shared resources.
• Build strong working relationships across the business to ensure enablement reflects real-world SE needs.

• 3–5 years of experience in a Sales Engineering, technical sales, or technical consulting role - you understand the SE motion and what technical excellence in the field looks like.
• 3–5 years of experience in sales enablement, learning & development, or instructional design - you know how to build programmes that land and drive measurable behaviour change.
• Strong understanding of technical sales processes and what it takes to support both individual contributors and front-line managers.
• Ability to translate technical knowledge into clear, structured content that helps others learn and apply new skills.
• Strong communication skills - you can explain complex concepts to diverse audiences without losing the room.
• A genuine passion for developing others and a curiosity about how people learn best.
• Collaborative mindset - you thrive working cross-functionally and building relationships across teams.
• Adaptability and good judgment in a fast-changing environment, comfortable working with general supervision.
• Proficiency in English.

• Experience with AI-powered content creation or modern enablement tooling.
• Certifications such as ATD-CPTD or active participation in professional enablement communities.
• Familiarity with principles of instructional design.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.

At Mimecast, we don’t just talk about success - we celebrate it. Our people are at the core of everything we do, and we invest in their growth, development, and well-being. You’ll join a passionate, collaborative team that’s shaping the future of cybersecurity and empowering organisations to thrive in a challenging landscape.

If you bring field credibility from the SE world and the enablement craft to turn that experience into impact at scale - this is your opportunity. Apply today and help us deliver world-class enablement to our Sales Engineering teams.

The base salary range for this position is £56,000−£84.000 plus benefits. This range represents the minimum and maximum new hire compensation for this role. The position may also be eligible for incentive plans and additional benefits, in accordance with company policy and local regulations. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location with individual compensation also dependent on factors such as qualifications, experience, and skills. Final offers will reflect these considerations and may vary accordingly.
