- Startup & Conversion Support: Plan and execute end-to-end training for new startups, WMS system conversions, and key strategic projects.
- Onboarding & Competency: Run and audit onboarding plans, training all warehouse roles with a focus on verified competency in safety, accuracy, and productivity.
- Performance Observation: Implement formal observations to measure employee proficiency against SOPs and coach site leaders on driving behavioral change.
- Data-Driven Solutions: Partner with HR and Operations to analyze performance data, diagnose training gaps, and launch targeted fixes.
- Compliance Auditing: Conduct comprehensive training and compliance audits at each site at least once per year, delivering detailed reports to Site General Managers.
- Content Management: Keep all SOPs, digital learning tools, and physical training materials current, functional, and accessible.
- Experience: 3–5 years in operations training, warehouse leadership, or multi-site learning & development.
- WMS Expertise: Hands-on proficiency with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), including direct experience leading training during system conversions.
- Coaching & Delivery: A clear, constructive coaching style with the proven ability to lead diverse training sessions and adjust delivery to the audience's pace.
- Analytical Skills: Strong use of performance data to pinpoint root causes of training gaps.
- Flexibility & Travel: Comfort shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment and availability for up to 75% local travel across the assigned region.
- Interpersonal Savvy: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to influence site leadership and work seamlessly across functions.
- Physical Capability: Ability to wear required PPE (steel-toed shoes, safety glasses, high-visibility vests) and work on-site within warehouse environments containing varying temperatures, loud noises, concrete floors, and industrial vehicle traffic.
