Essential Duties and ResponsibilitiesTraining Strategy and Needs Assessment

• Conduct companywide training-needs assessments using stakeholder interviews, surveys, performance data, audit findings, safety trends, employee feedback, client requirements, and operational observations.

• Translate complex HR, safety, compliance, operational, and client-specific information into clear, practical content that employees can apply on the job.
• Build onboarding, supervisor development, leadership, customer service, communication, employee relations, compliance, safety, and technical-skills training in collaboration with subject-matter experts.
• Maintain version control and routinely update learning content when policies, procedures, laws, systems, or client requirements change.

Training Video Production

• Plan and produce training videos from concept to completion, including learning objectives, scripts, storyboards, shot lists, recording, editing, captions, graphics, voiceover, and final publishing.
• Create short, mobile-friendly microlearning videos appropriate for frontline employees as well as longer digital courses for managers and corporate teams.
• Record and edit demonstrations, interviews, process walkthroughs, scenario-based instruction, and leadership messages in partnership with internal subject-matter experts.
• Apply accessibility and usability practices, including accurate captions, readable on-screen text, clear audio, and formats suitable for the company's learning platform.
• Manage the training-media library and ensure video content remains accurate, current, branded, and easy to locate.

• Facilitate engaging virtual and in-person learning sessions when appropriate and coach internal facilitators on effective delivery.
• Administer learning content, assignments, completion records, reporting, and user experience within the company's learning management system.
• Establish measures for participation, knowledge acquisition, behavior change, performance improvement, safety, retention, and other relevant business outcomes.
• Evaluate program effectiveness through assessments, participant feedback, manager observations, audits, performance indicators, and post-training follow-up.
• Prepare dashboards and regular updates showing training activity, compliance, results, risks, and recommended improvements.
• Coordinate vendors or specialized training resources when internal development is not the best solution, while remaining accountable for quality and results.

Collaboration and Influence

• Partner closely with People Operations, Operations, Safety, Standards, Talent Acquisition, Payroll, and business leaders to identify needs and implement solutions.
• Serve as a learning consultant to managers by clarifying performance expectations and recommending the appropriate training or non-training response.
• Build credibility across levels of the organization and influence results without direct supervisory authority.
