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

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.

As a Sr. Learning & Development Lead, you will own quarterly pricing and negotiation enablement programs that give Business Developers the knowledge, frameworks, and practiced conviction to hold ground on margin under real-world pressure. You will ensure BDs deeply understand Amazon Shipping"s pricing levers (rate cards, DIM weight, surcharges, value-based framing), anticipate shipper behavior, and execute the "Take Control" moment with confidence. Your work directly addresses where margin is actually won or lost-the moment a BD either holds price or concedes. You will turn capability gaps into measurable performance outcomes.

About You

You are an enablement leader who understands that pricing fluency without negotiation confidence is incomplete-and that confidence only comes from practice under pressure. You design learning that goes beyond frameworks and into rehearsal: simulated negotiations, escalating objection scenarios, and realistic deal pressure that builds tension tolerance and the muscle memory BDs need to hold ground when it matters most.

You are deeply curious about pricing strategy, commercial economics, and buyer psychology. You have strong instructional design chops-scenario-based learning, Bloom"s-aligned objectives, meaningful assessment-and you can facilitate live training with sales audiences who will push back. You partner closely with Pricing and Finance teams to stay current on rate structures, margin dynamics, and competitive positioning, and you translate that complexity into practical, repeatable selling conviction for the field. You measure success not by content delivered, but by whether BDs actually hold price in live deals.

Key job 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.
