• Own end-to-end delivery of key learning programs, including onboarding cohorts, skill workshops, and ongoing enablement sessions.
• Ensure consistency, quality, and scalability of facilitation across sessions and cohorts.
• Partner with LXD and content teams where needed, but prioritize delivery excellence over content creation.
• Continuously refine sessions based on learner feedback, performance data, and business needs.

Measurement & Impact

• Evaluate learning effectiveness through observable behavior change, seller confidence, and performance outcomes.
• Partner with leadership to connect learning interventions to sales KPIs (e.g., ramp time, deal progression, win rates).
• Gather qualitative and quantitative insights to improve facilitation approach and session design.

• Deep understanding of sales methodologies (Challenger, SPIN, Solution Selling, or similar) and how to apply them in real scenarios.
• Exceptional communication, presence, and ability to influence in a live environment.
• Experience driving behavior change, not just knowledge transfer.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in sales (quota-carrying or direct sales partnership) strongly preferred.
• Experience coaching sellers or frontline sales managers.
• Familiarity with learning design tools and approaches (but not a primary requirement).
