Program Training Manager

Join GardaWolrd as a Program Training Manager! We’re looking for a Program Training Manager to build the training and readiness programs for a growing multi-site security operations account. This is a vendor role that works day to day with client security operations leadership across the supported sites. This is a builder role. Roughly 80% of the job is designing and creating the programs, materials, and training system from the ground up. The other 20% is delivery, and that delivery runs mostly through a train‑the‑trainer model: you equip site account managers and local leaders to train their teams rather than training every officer yourself. You do not need to be the subject matter expert. Your job is to pull in security and operational SMEs, capture their technical knowledge, and translate it into clear, consistent, usable training. The core skill set is learning and development and instructional design. Security experience is a plus, not a requirement. What’s in it for You Competitive Salary: $90,000 - $100,000 / year Work Site Location: King of Prussia, PA (primarily onsite, with travel to supported sites) Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, 401(k) with employer matching contributions, paid time off (PTO) policy, paid holidays, disability coverage, and life insurance options.
