Key job responsibilities
No two days look alike. You start by scanning engagement dashboards, flagging trends, and forming hypotheses about what's landing — and what's not. Mid-morning, you're on a ride-along, capturing gaps between training and real buyer conversations. Over lunch, you reframe a leader's one-off request into a scalable program that serves three orgs. In the afternoon, you facilitate a live session for 300 sellers built around deliberate practice, not lecture. Late day, you're iterating on certifications, writing narratives that tie enablement to revenue, and sunsetting outdated content. Tomorrow, your work shows up in a rep's customer conversation.
About The Team
We're the AB Enablement team — equipping NA CPS Sales with competency-based, AI-enabled skills and habits that improve performance and turn learning into accelerated growth. We build with intention inside one of the fastest-growing B2B businesses at Amazon, prioritizing fewer programs with higher impact over noise and volume. We're early adopters of AI tools, believers in behavioral science, and relentless advocates for the sales team we serve. If you want your work to directly shape how a world-class sales org grows, this is where it happens.
