• Stay current on learning trends, instructional design methods, and industry‑specific certifications or compliance requirements.

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.
• Proven success designing and implementing training programs that improved performance or reduced time to competency.
• Strong understanding of adult learning principles, instructional design models, and blended learning methods.
• Comfort with training technology (LMS platforms, video tools, mobile learning apps).
• Ability to analyze data and translate it into actionable program improvements.

Everyone you work with should describe you as:

• Initiative Taker - Empowers themselves, brings solutions, has a bias for action and is highly accountable
• Collaborative - Works well with others, solicits feedback, and has a positive upbeat personality who focuses on opportunities rather than obstacles
• 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:

• Learning how to do something well by doing it, not be reading a manual or going to formal training
• 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
• If you prefer highly defined processes, slower decision‑making environments, or incremental change, this role will likely not be a fit
