The World Wide Grocery Stores (WWGS) training team drives operational excellence through innovative, scalable training solutions that empower thousands of team members and leaders across Amazon's grocery portfolio. We support multiple grocery formats—from neighborhood markets to large-format stores—and we're seeking an exceptional training professional to join our dynamic, fast-paced environment where we constantly raise the bar on operational training.
In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end design, development, implementation, and measurement of training solutions that enhance team member performance, strengthen operational capabilities, and support Amazon’s customer-centric mission. You’ll work cross-functionally with Operations, PXT, and business partners across regions, using data and technology to create scalable learning experiences that drive measurable business impact.
Our primary customers are the field operations teams who run our grocery stores every day. You'll navigate a complex, matrixed organization to deeply understand their needs, then design and deliver training solutions that translate into real-world performance improvements on the store floor. If you're passionate about developing people, thrive in ambiguity, and want to shape the future of one of Amazon's fastest-growing businesses, we want you on our team.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end design, development, implementation, and iteration of learning projects that drive operational excellence across multiple grocery formats and regions
- Design and implement measurement strategies (Kirkpatrick model, business impact analysis) to evaluate program effectiveness and drive continuous improvement
- Write compelling business documents (6-pagers, program briefs, status reports) and develop instructional content using authoring tools; present data-driven recommendations to senior leadership
- Build and maintain strong partnerships with stakeholders across Operations, PXT, and regional leadership to align learning solutions with business priorities
- Design curriculum frameworks and create scalable mechanisms for program adoption, quality control, and change management across stores
- Develop data-driven insights using metrics and associate performance data to inform program strategy and demonstrate ROI
- Facilitate virtual and in-person training sessions to store trainers, when needed
- Champion team member development needs while balancing business requirements, operational constraints, and labor model considerations
- Conduct ongoing training needs assessments through field observations, stakeholder interviews, and data analysis to identify gaps and prioritize solutions
- Partner with field operations leadership to validate training effectiveness and gather frontline feedback; travel to store locations as needed (up to 5% expected)
- Leverage AI tools and technologies to automate tasks, support data analysis, and streamline content reviews to increase team efficiency and quality
A day in the life
Your day might start with Ops, PXT, Field Training, or project partners in meetings focused on updates to training content or projects and the resources needed to successfully implement them. Mid-morning, you join a cross-functional call with regional Operations leaders—your primary customers—to align on an upcoming process change that requires new training content. After lunch, you review learner feedback data and iterate on a training module, applying instructional design principles to refine content and scope a new e-learning course. You may periodically visit stores to see training in action and gather frontline insights. Throughout the week, you provide insight and inputs to training strategy documents, develop content in authoring tools, manage stakeholder alignment across multiple time zones, and drive crisp decisions to keep your projects on track.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Training Program Manager
Frame your role as a specialty occupation
USCIS scrutinizes Training Program Manager petitions more than technical roles. Emphasize that your position requires a specific degree in instructional design, organizational development, or human resources, not just any bachelor's degree.
Target industries with consistent sponsorship history
Healthcare systems, large technology companies, and financial institutions file the most LCAs for this title. These employers have established HR infrastructure and immigration counsel, making sponsorship a faster, more predictable process for training professionals.
Highlight measurable program outcomes in your resume
Employers sponsoring this role need to justify a specialty occupation to USCIS. Quantified results, completion rates, productivity improvements, onboarding time reductions, strengthen the petition by demonstrating the strategic, degree-requiring nature of your work.
Distinguish your role from general HR or coordinator positions
Generic training coordinator titles face higher RFE rates. If your responsibilities include curriculum architecture, learning management system oversight, or needs analysis, ensure your job description reflects that scope clearly before your employer files.
Ask about cap-exempt employer options
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated organizations are exempt from the H-1B lottery. Training Program Managers employed by these entities can receive H-1B approval year-round without competing in the annual cap selection process.
Explore the L-1 if you're transferring from an overseas office
If your current employer has U.S. operations, the L-1B visa covers specialized knowledge workers, including training professionals who manage proprietary programs or systems. This bypasses the H-1B lottery entirely and can be filed any time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Training Program Manager qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It can, but it's not automatic. USCIS requires the role to normally demand a bachelor's degree in a specific field, instructional design, organizational development, education, or a related discipline. Positions where any degree satisfies the requirement are more likely to receive a Request for Evidence. The stronger your employer's job description ties the duties to a specialized field of study, the better the petition holds up.
Which visa types are Training Program Managers most commonly sponsored for?
H-1B visa is the most common path for Training Program Managers at private employers. L-1B is an option if you're transferring from an overseas office of the same company and manage specialized proprietary programs. TN visa status covers this role for Canadian and Mexican nationals if it falls under a qualifying USMCA category such as management consultant. O-1A is rarely applicable unless you have extraordinary recognition in the learning and development field.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor me as a Training Program Manager?
Most sponsoring employers require a bachelor's degree in instructional design, education, human resources, organizational development, or a closely related field. A business degree with a focus on organizational behavior can also satisfy the requirement depending on the role's scope. Advanced credentials, such as a master's in learning and development or a CPTD certification, strengthen the specialty occupation argument and make petitions less vulnerable to USCIS challenge.
How do I find employers who sponsor Training Program Manager roles?
Browse Training Program Manager listings on Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for visa-sponsoring employers. DOL LCA disclosure data is publicly searchable and shows which companies have filed Labor Condition Applications for this job title, a reliable proxy for active sponsorship willingness. Large enterprises in healthcare, financial services, and technology consistently appear in those filings and represent your strongest targets.
Are Training Program Manager H-1B petitions at higher risk for RFEs?
Yes, compared to technical roles like software engineers. USCIS has historically questioned whether training and HR-adjacent positions meet the specialty occupation standard, particularly when job descriptions are vague about required qualifications. Petitions that clearly document degree requirements in the posting, explain why the specific field of study is necessary for the duties performed, and include supporting employer documentation tend to have significantly lower RFE rates.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Training Program Manager jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
