L&D Training Consultant - Sales Training Specialist

Our client is a growing learning and development agency working with some of the world's best-known companies. They're looking for an L&D Training Consultant to join their London team and work directly with enterprise sales teams.

If you've got experience in sales training, L&D consulting, or enterprise training delivery, and you want to do more than just deliver off-the-shelf courses, this could be for you.

Location: West London (Paddington/Shepherds Bush area)

What You'll Actually Do

This role is different because you won't be pigeonholed into one thing. You'll move between three core areas:

SELL – Discover what clients really need. You'll have discovery conversations with L&D leaders and sales directors at big tech companies, ask smart diagnostic questions, and recommend the right solution (not just push what you have). It's consultative selling.

BUILD – Design or shape learning solutions. This might mean designing courses from scratch, customising existing frameworks, or pulling together the right content and structure to meet the client's needs. On big projects, you might hand off to a designer, but you own the quality and continuity.

RUN –Deliver training to experienced salespeople. You'll facilitate workshops, both in-person and virtual. You need to be credible enough to handle tough questions, read the room, and adapt on the fly. This is facilitating professionals, not running a classroom.

Who You're Probably Like

You've either got strong sales training or L&D experience (or both). You might come from:

• B2B sales background and want to move into consulting and training
• Strong L&D/training background and wish to add commercial credibility and sales know-how
• Currently working at a training consultancy where you've done the design and delivery side, and now want to own the full project lifecycle

You're comfortable with ambiguity, you think like a business partner (not a trainer), and you actually enjoy the variety of moving between client conversations, content design, and delivery.

Why Join This Client

You're not just building a consulting skillset—you're joining a team that actually values the full lifecycle. No handoffs to someone else to mess it up. No "that's not my department." You own discovery through to delivery.

The client base is genuinely interesting. You're not training junior staff in generic skills. You're working with enterprise sales teams at companies like Oracle, Cisco—people who care about ROI and want real impact. That makes the work more engaging and the conversations sharper.

You get variety. Every week is different. One week you're in a discovery call. The next you're designing content. Then you're facilitating a workshop for 50 experienced sales directors. That mix keeps things fresh and lets you develop real breadth of expertise.

You're supported by an experienced team who get what good looks like. You're not starting from scratch. There are frameworks, methodologies, and people who've done this before. You learn fast and build your confidence quickly.

There's genuine room to specialize and grow. You can build deep expertise in sales training (becoming the go-to person), or if you want, move toward leadership and build a team. Your trajectory depends on where you want to go.

You'll work with clients who are thinking strategically about their sales capability and team development. These aren't one-off training requests. These are partnerships where you're a trusted advisor helping solve real business challenges.

The Real Talk

Travel is part of the job. You'll be flexible—some weeks you're local, other stretches you're working internationally. Projects can be intense (early mornings, evening client dinners, high energy). But if you thrive on that variety and the challenge of solving complex client problems, it's brilliant.

You'll be in the office Monday for team meetings, and 2–3 days/week total (flexible which days). When you're delivering client work, there's no office expectation.
