The Manager, Training & Development leads the day-to-day operation of the Training & Enablement function, building the programs, content, and delivery methods that get internal employees up to speed quickly and keep them growing from there. This role owns the full training lifecycle — onboarding curricula, role-based upskilling, and organizational readiness for new systems, tools, and processes, including preparing internal departments to successfully support each newly acquired portfolio — translating the VP's enterprise capacity-building priorities into concrete, well-run programs.

This is a hands-on leadership role: the Manager designs and delivers training directly, builds and leads a team that may include Content Developers, Content & Knowledge Base Specialists, Field Tech Trainers as the function scales, and partners closely with Product, Technology, Operations, and the Program Management team to make sure training keeps pace with what the business actually needs. The Manager owns the organization's internal knowledge base and LMS as extensions of the training function, oversees Train-the-Trainer readiness and field-based technical training for field technicians, and leverages AI-powered tools to accelerate content development. This is a 100% remote position.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and lead the Training & Enablement function, establishing consistent onboarding, role readiness, and continuous upskilling programs across internal teams.
• Design, develop, and maintain training curricula, eLearning modules, and materials for new hires, cross-training, and refresher training, applying adult learning methodologies (e.g., ADDIE, SAM).
• Lead enterprise-wide employee capacity building and workforce development initiatives, aligning content and delivery with organizational priorities.
• Evaluate and promote the adoption of innovative training tools — including AI-powered authoring and content tools — to accelerate onboarding and competency development.

• Build and lead a team that may include Content Developers, Content & Knowledge Base Specialists, Field Tech Trainers, instructional designers, or coordinators as the function scales, directly designing and delivering training as needed.
• Own the organization's internal knowledge base and LMS as extensions of the training function, ensuring content is accurate, well-organized, properly published and tested, and easy to find.
• Oversee Train-the-Trainer sessions to prepare facilitators and operational leaders to deliver new or updated content accurately.
• Oversee field-based technical training delivered to field technicians, ensuring consistency in tools, equipment, systems, and safety procedures across the field workforce.
• Coach and develop team members on instructional design, facilitation, content quality, and knowledge base/LMS maintenance, establishing a consistent standard across the function.

• Partner with the Program Management team and the Account Manager, Client Onboarding & Integration to align training delivery with program timelines and identify where internal departments need training ahead of a new portfolio's onboarding.
• Track and report on training effectiveness, completion, and readiness metrics, using learner feedback and performance data to identify and prioritize training improvements.

• Experience in solar energy, retail energy, or another asset- or transaction-heavy industry.
• Instructional design certification (e.g., CPTD, ATD) or equivalent training.
• Master's degree in Education, Organizational Development, Human Resources, or a related discipline.
• Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS), e-learning authoring tools (e.g., Articulate 360, Rise, Storyline), and AI-powered content or authoring tools.
• Experience managing or contributing to a corporate knowledge base, intranet, or internal documentation library.
• Experience with Agile or iterative approaches to content development and program rollout.

Additional Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Ability to translate business priorities and process changes into clear, digestible training content.
• Sound judgment in balancing hands-on content creation and delivery with team leadership responsibilities.
• Ability to assess training effectiveness and use data to drive continuous improvement.
