Sr. L&D Lead — Sales Training, Amazon Shipping

About the role

Amazon Shipping is building a high-growth business designed to transform how the world thinks about logistics. As our Business Development organization scales, the ability to sell on value—not default to discounting—is the single biggest lever for margin protection and commercial success. We are looking for a Learning & Development leader to design and deliver training that builds commercial confidence in BD teams—specifically around pricing strategy, negotiation, and the Challenger Sale's Take Control tenet.

Responsibilities

• Design and facilitate scenario-based training on pricing (rate cards, DIM weight, surcharges, value-based framing) and negotiation on a quarterly cadence.
• Build and iterate on Challenger Take Control curriculum—including tension tolerance, reframing price conversations, and holding ground under pushback.
• Develop and maintain Hyperbound AI roleplay scenarios focused on pricing conversations, objection handling, and commitment negotiations with structured scoring rubrics.
• Develop role play simulations, practice briefs, and assessments tied to real sales scenarios that escalate from positioning through objection handling to pricing/commitment conversations.
• Administer and manage pricing and negotiation content within Learn (LMS), including course assignments, certifications, and completion tracking.
• Collect and analyze L1–L2 data; connect training outcomes to business metrics including discount rates, average deal value, and margin hold rates.
• Partner with the Pricing team and Finance to ensure training content reflects current rate strategies, margin expectations, and shipper behavior patterns.
• Partner with sales leadership to identify know-do gaps and translate them into targeted interventions.
• Continuously improve programs as market conditions, pricing structures, or competitive dynamics shift.

Requirements

• 5+ years of program or project management experience
• Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements
• Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership
• 5+ years of experience in Learning & Development with a sales enablement focus (BD, inside sales, or field sales context)
• Demonstrated experience building Challenger Sale-based curriculum—not just familiarity, but actual design work
• Strong instructional design capabilities: scenario-based learning, Bloom's-aligned objectives, meaningful assessment design
• Experience facilitating live training with sales audiences who will push back—including tenured, quota-carrying sellers, not only new hires

Qualifications

• Master's degree, or MBA in business, operations, human resources, adult education, organizational development, instructional design or related field
• Experience with AI-powered practice tools (e.g., Hyperbound, Second Nature, Pitch Monster)
• Familiarity with Kirkpatrick or similar measurement frameworks, particularly L3 (behavior change) and L4 (business impact) approaches
• Track record of measurable impact on deal economics (e.g., reduced discounting, improved margin, higher average deal value)
• Experience with LMS administration and learner engagement analytics
