Learning And Development Manager Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a learning and development manager in Washington?
Washington does not require a state-issued license to work as a learning and development manager, so the path centers on education and credentials. Most employers expect a bachelor's degree in human resources, organizational development, or education, with a master's degree preferred for senior roles. Earning the ATD Certified Professional in Learning and Performance designation strengthens your profile considerably. Building a portfolio of training programs you have designed and delivered is the most practical step toward a first management role.
How much do learning and development managers make in Washington?
Learning and development managers in Washington earn a median of about $163,360 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $101,680 for the lowest 10% to over $249,030 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire learning and development managers in Washington?
Employers hiring learning and development managers in Washington right now include Chewy, Precision Door Service, and Kalles, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's concentration of large technology, aerospace, and healthcare organizations means ongoing demand for professionals who can build enterprise-scale learning programs and leadership pipelines.
Which Washington cities have the most learning and development manager jobs?
Bellevue, Woodinville, and Washington State have the most learning and development manager openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue drive the bulk of postings because of the region's dense concentration of technology headquarters, major healthcare systems, and corporate campuses, while Tacoma adds volume through large government contractors, military-connected organizations, and regional hospital networks anchored in Pierce County.
Are there remote learning and development manager jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 50% of learning and development manager openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how well instructional design, curriculum development, and virtual facilitation translate to distributed work. Roles focused on in-person new-hire onboarding or hands-on skills training are more likely to require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a learning and development manager in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from an adjacent role such as HR coordinator, corporate trainer, or instructional designer at a Washington employer that runs formal development programs. Large organizations including Microsoft, Boeing, and Providence Health regularly post associate-level training specialist and program coordinator roles that serve as direct feeders into management. Building a portfolio with even one end-to-end course you designed, and pursuing the ATD CPTD credential, gives you a concrete edge when competing for those stepping-stone positions.
Where can I find and apply to learning and development manager jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to learning and development manager jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings updated regularly. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
