About the role

We’re looking for dynamic instructors to deliver hands-on, end-user and administrator training to public safety agencies. The training covers Motorola body-worn cameras and the in-vehicle and back-end evidence management systems that support them. You’ll travel throughout North America to train customers on site. Your focus will be on the user experience, the agency’s actual workflows, and continuously improving the quality of the training you deliver.

What we’re looking for

You bring a positive outlook, personal initiative, a solid track record of teaching adults to use technology, and the adaptability to tailor each class to the audience in front of you. Your students will range from patrol officers to system administrators, and sometimes technical staff. The ideal candidate is comfortable and experienced with learning new software quickly. They understand how agencies handle video evidence and records, and can adjust content to match those workflows.

Key skills

• Multiple years of experience teaching adults to use technology and software. This is required for all candidates, whatever their background.
• Motorola Mobile Video Solutions experience is highly desired. If you have administrator-level experience and an instructional background with SVX, V700, VB400 and M500/500e mobile video/body camera equipment you are an ideal candidate. Motorola’s CommandCentral DEMS experience would also be highly valued.
• Law enforcement, dispatch, or call-taking background. Former FTOs, CTOs, and others who carried training duties alongside their regular assignments are very competitive. You need the credibility of having been a first responder.
• Strong computer and software aptitude: you pick up new applications quickly and can troubleshoot on your feet in front of a class.
• You genuinely care whether people learn what you’re there to teach.
• Highly dependable, trustworthy, and conscientious in a role with low supervision and high visibility.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and time-management skills.
• Self-starter who performs well amid ambiguity and keeps a sense of humor while doing it.
• Able and willing to travel extensively to customer sites across North America.
• You should reside near an airport with good airline service.

Basic requirements

• 3+ years of experience teaching adults to use technology and software.
• 3+ years in a public safety role (sworn or 911 telecom/dispatch).
• Ability to pass background checks required by government customers.
• A valid U.S. Driver’s License.
