Provide structured feedback to the Performance Coach and retail leadership on training effectiveness, recurring gaps, and opportunities to reduce errors/rework.

Support employee career development by guiding trainees through role expectations, performance standards, and promotion readiness pathways.

Ensure training practices reinforce compliance and operational standards, partnering with compliance/audit resources as needed to align training content with bank requirements.

Promote a positive learning culture by building rapport with trainees, reinforcing confidence, and creating an environment that encourages questions and continuous improvement.

Travels as needed across markets/regions to support in-branch onboarding, milestone validations, and promotion transitions (hybrid coverage model).
