Events Tech Jobs in Madison, WI (NOW HIRING)

Job Type
Full-time
Description
POSITION OVERVIEW
Johnson Health Tech is a global leader in the design and manufacture of fitness equipment. Under the direction of the Senior Global Product Training Manager, the Global Product Training Strategist helps shape how our global commercial and retail sales teams learn about our products, competitive position, and evolving solutions.
This hands-on corporate learning role combines instructional design, business writing, event planning, learning-system administration, and continuous improvement. No two projects are exactly alike. The Global Training Strategist may move from developing a product course or competitive comparison to organizing an international training event, producing a webinar, reviewing learner data, or improving how the team delivers content.
The role offers meaningful ownership and the opportunity to recommend new ideas, strengthen existing programs, and help move approved improvements from concept through implementation.
This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys both creative content development and detailed execution. It requires curiosity, sound judgment, strong follow-through, and comfort working across brands, markets, languages, channels, and time zones. Event periods will require travel, extended days, and hands-on problem-solving.
Mission Statement
Delight and excite our customers through truly innovative products, unsurpassed quality, and best-in-class customer experience provided by a world-class organization.
