Sr. AR Learning & Development Program Lead

Responsibilities

• End-to-end Training Program Ownership
• Own the NetOps training framework and delivery cadence across onboarding, refreshers, clinics, and job shadowing.
• Adhere to a structured learning journey (Onboarding → Intermediate → Advanced) aligned to the Q-series support models and the 70/20/10 learning philosophy.
• Ensure training is optimized for distributed technicians (short, role-specific modules; scenario practice; performance checklists; field-ready job aids).
• Facilitate Trainings
• Facilitate live training sessions (virtual and in-person) with a strong bias toward hands-on practice, troubleshooting simulations, and case-based assessment.
• Tailor sessions based on learner input and performance signals (survey insights, observed gaps, ticket quality trends), adapting instruction to the audience.
• Run "train-the-trainer" sessions that validate both technical competence and facilitation skill.
• Certification and Decentralized Onboarding Scale-Up
• Implement certification requirements for trainers and trainees (scenario evidence, shadowing/ride-alongs, evaluations, and ongoing check-ins).
• Coordinate pilots, then scale rollout; maintain training quality controls across partner-led deliveries.
• Teach and enforce the operational standard (remote support + break/fix) including support workflow, non-negotiables like safety and ethics, ticketing excellence, and top diagnostic and resolution approaches.
• Content Ownership
• Author, package, and maintain the Trainer Toolkit (onboarding deck, facilitator guide, performance checklist, KPI tracking).
• Own updates to knowledge articles, field guides, quick-reference one-pagers, test plans, and troubleshooting runbooks as new patterns emerge.
• Translate "what's changing" into what technicians must do differently in the next remote support and dispatch cycle (procedures, evidence expectations, parts discipline).
• Training Operations, Metrics, and Continuous Improvement
• Use ticket/dispatch/parts patterns to prioritize training updates and refreshers (top repeat issues, poor documentation patterns, parts waste, trunk stock non-compliance).
• Partner with Ops/NetOps leaders to define and report KPIs tied to the NetOps strategy (quality, speed, sustainability).
• Build feedback loops with Remote Support, Field Services, and vendors to keep training aligned to reality, not theory.

Requirements

• Eight (8) to eleven (11) years of relevant professional experience of a demonstrated equivalent level of expertise.
• Five (5)+ years designing and delivering technical training for frontline roles (field service, service desk, or technical operations), including onboarding and skill progression.
• Demonstrated ability to teach diagnostic thinking (root cause approach) and drive measurable performance improvement (e.g., improved first-time fix, reduced repeat dispatches, improved ticket quality).
• Strong facilitation skills across virtual and in-person environments; able to lead mixed-experience cohorts and drive hands-on practice.
• Proficiency with enterprise productivity and documentation tools (Microsoft 365: PowerPoint, Word, Excel) and content repositories (SharePoint, Confluence, or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of IT service management workflows and ticket quality standards, including experience using an ITSM/ticketing platform (e.g., Salesforce Service Cloud, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Zendesk,
