    Job Description

    Amazon Shipping is building a high-growth business designed to transform how brands and merchants think about logistics. As we rapidly expand our shipping and delivery services across the U.S., we are investing in the commercial capabilities required to win larger, more complex customers and scale a world-class Business Development organization.

    As the Head of US Sales Enablement, you will own the strategy for building and scaling seller capability across Amazon Shipping"s U.S. Business Development organization. You will lead a high-performing Sales Enablement and Learning & Development team and define the mechanisms, curricula, tools, and standards that help sellers engage customers more strategically, navigate complex buying organizations, and accelerate opportunities from prospecting through close.

    This is a highly visible leadership role at the intersection of sales strategy, learning, and commercial execution. You will translate business priorities and field needs into scalable enablement programs spanning onboarding, sales methodology, product and industry knowledge, coaching, leadership development, and continuous learning. You will partner closely with Business Development, Marketing, Product, Operations, and other cross-functional leaders to identify capability gaps and ensure sellers have the knowledge, skills, and resources required to win.

    Success will be measured not by training delivered, but by seller performance and business impact: faster ramp, stronger sales execution, increased sales velocity, improved engagement with key buyer personas, and greater ability to win large and complex opportunities.

    About You

    You are a strategic sales enablement leader who turns commercial priorities into scalable seller capabilities. You think in systems and mechanisms, combining long-term vision with operational rigor to build programs that improve seller effectiveness and drive measurable business outcomes.

    You are customer-obsessed, data-driven, and comfortable operating in ambiguity. You can influence senior leaders across Business Development, Marketing, Product, and Operations while maintaining a high bar for content, execution, and impact.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the Learning & Development strategy for Amazon Shipping's Business Development organization.
    • Lead and develop a team of L&D professionals across onboarding, ongoing enablement, and regional execution.
    • Define core sales curricula, certification standards, and learning mechanisms that scale globally while enabling localization.
    • Partner with Business Development, Sales Operations, Product, and Tech to align enablement priorities to business strategy and roadmap changes.
    • Establish clear success metrics for learning effectiveness, adoption, and impact on seller performance.
    • Drive continuous improvement of learning programs, tools, and delivery models as the business scales.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
