Job description

The Lead Onboarding Coordinator reports to the Vice President, Training and manages training coordination and new-owner onboarding across the Authority Brands portfolio. This role oversees the shared training calendar, classroom and facilitator scheduling, class resources, and owner readiness from signing through on-site attendance. The position is based in Atlanta, Georgia and requires minimal travel.

Authority Brands' training organization prepares new franchise owners across its portfolio of home services businesses to open and run their businesses. Owners complete online pre-work, then attend live, hands-on training in Atlanta: a common core shared across the portfolio, followed by business-specific training. Common-core subjects may include business planning, financial management, customer experience, sales and marketing, technology, compliance, people management, and day-to-day operating practices applicable across different franchised home services businesses. Contracted partners lead the initial curriculum design; this team delivers the training and owns the curriculum after handoff.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the annual shared training calendar across the portfolio: scheduling every cohort's dates.
• Match classrooms and lab spaces to each class and protect the weeks reserved for company town halls.
