What you should bring:

• 3+ years of progressive experience in Learning & Development and/or Training within a field service or skilled trades industry or 3+ years as a garage door service technician with increasing responsibility for training local team members.

• Analytical – Uses the right data to help inform and make decisions; applies critical thinking both strategically and tactically; is a wiz with Excel.

• Humble – Lacks ego, shares credit and defines success collectively with a curious mind for learning

And you should be motived by:

• Working in a lean, results-oriented environment, where you’ll be expected to do more, take on more, and achieve more every year
• Having fun in a start-up-y type environment high on transparency, open to new approaches and without a ton of structure
