Training Program Manager Jobs in Santa Clara, CA

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Learning and Training Program Manager to join our team.
Position Description
The Learning and Training Program Manager is responsible for owning Oklo's company-wide learning and training program. This role oversees our Learning Management System (Docebo), manages onboarding training, ensures required compliance training remains current across multiple jurisdictions, and partners with departments to deliver high-quality role-specific training.
Rather than serving as the subject matter expert for every training, this person enables and coordinates experts across the company-including Environmental Health & Safety, Operations, Quality Assurance, Legal, Finance, Engineering, Security, and People-to create, maintain, and deliver effective learning content while ensuring training records remain accurate, auditable, and compliant.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building scalable systems, driving accountability, and helping organizations develop their people.

• Partner with leaders across Environmental Health & Safety, Operations, Quality Assurance, Engineering, Legal, Finance, Security, and People to identify organizational learning needs, assess skill gaps, and coordinate the development, deployment, and maintenance of training content
• Monitor federal, state, local, and company-specific training requirements, partnering with stakeholders to ensure required training remains current, compliant, and aligned with evolving regulations and business needs
• Maintain complete, accurate, and audit-ready training records while overseeing training governance, certification schedules, review cycles, version control, and documentation standards across all learning programs
• Track training completion, refreshes, compliance metrics, and program effectiveness, providing dashboards, reporting, and insights that enable leaders to measure organizational readiness and drive continuous improvement
• Serve as the central point of contact for enterprise learning operations by supporting employees, managers, and subject matter experts, troubleshooting training issues, and ensuring a consistent, high-quality learning experience across remote and onsite teams
• Identify opportunities to improve learning operations through automation, process improvements, and scalable systems that enable Oklo's training programs to grow alongside the company
• Support internal and external audits by providing training documentation, compliance records, and evidence of employee qualifications
• Travel periodically (approximately 25-40%) to support onboarding, company-wide training initiatives, leadership meetings, and other strategic learning events

Minimum Qualifications:

• 4+ years of experience managing enterprise learning, training operations, compliance training, or learning programs
• Hands-on experience administering a Learning Management System (LMS)
• Experience managing employee onboarding, compliance training, certification tracking, and training records
• Knowledge of federal, state, and company-required training requirements and the ability to coordinate updates with stakeholders
• Strong project management, organizational, and process improvement skills with exceptional attention to detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to build relationships and collaborate across all levels of the organization
• Experience partnering with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment
• Proficiency with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office and modern collaboration tools such as Slack, Workday, Confluence, or Jira

Bonus Qualifications:

• Proficiency with Docebo is strongly preferred

Competencies
We are looking for a Learning and Training Program Manager that is:

• Passionate about clean energy
• Passionate about making advanced fission a reality
• Willing and able to learn quickly
• Eager to work on a dynamic team, receive constructive feedback, and grow with us
• Willing to think differently and do things in new ways
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly iterative startup environment
• Excited to think creatively, critically, and reflectively about the problems they are solving, while not leaning only on what has been done before
• Willing to propose novel and creative solutions to technical problems
• An excellent writer who can write in modern active voice, so make your cover letter compelling and write it well!
• Able to communicate technical content and results verbally

Who you are:
A startup person: You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don't need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won't enjoy working with us! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that.
Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn't about a fake or arbitrary "pieces of flair" mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals.
A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren't about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren't about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team.
An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.
Creative: Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you are able to identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will not only be creative, but also enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day-by-day.
Detail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward.
