Curriculum & Program Design

• Design and build the end-to-end new-hire onboarding curriculum for field operations roles, sequenced from first day through full productivity
• Develop e-learning modules, quizzes and knowledge checks, and hands-on, job-realistic exercises that teach new hires the specific tasks of the role they were hired for
• Develop certification programs that keep field team members' skills current and verify ongoing proficiency
• Build leadership development programs that prepare high-performing operators for management roles

Content Development & Delivery

• Produce engaging learning content in multiple formats - e-learning, video, job aids, facilitator guides, and instructor-led sessions (in person or virtual)
• Write clear, plain-language materials a new hire can follow without needing a manual or a shadow
• Build exercises and simulations that let new hires practice real tasks in a safe setting before doing them live
• Facilitate instructor-led sessions and train field leaders to deliver content consistently

Assessment & Effectiveness

• Track completion, assessment scores, time-to-productivity, and early performance to measure whether training is working
• Use data and learner feedback to continuously improve the curriculum and close gaps

• A confident facilitator, comfortable leading training in a classroom, on the floor, or virtually

• Highly organized and self-directed, able to run multiple content projects at once and hit launch dates
• An analytical mindset - willing to measure whether training worked and change it when it didn’t
• Thrives in a fast-paced, multi-hub operation and stays close to the field
