• Create and improve training materials, presentations, job aids, assessments, and knowledge checks.
• Coach associates on customer service, sales skills, systems, and processes.
• Assess trainee performance, identify skill gaps, and provide constructive feedback.
• Use learner feedback and performance data to improve training effectiveness.

• Experience creating or improving training materials and learning content.
