About The Position

The Onboarding Field Trainer prepares new Design Consultants for success during onboarding by delivering primarily virtual training on products, systems, and company processes. The role follows a structured curriculum, supports certification and skill assessments, and reviews cohort performance metrics to identify and address new-hire needs. The Trainer communicates each new hire’s strengths and development areas to local sales leaders as they transition into the field and provides follow-up support as they begin running appointments. Outside of virtual classes, the Trainer supports the local field team through in-home ride-alongs, appointment observations, hands-on coaching, district meetings, and sales events. Regular in-field presence is a core responsibility. The hybrid role includes up to 40% field time, which may vary with business needs and may exceed that target during peak periods. The position has a 40-hour Monday–Friday work week, with flexible start times based on the home market and core collaboration hours of 10:00 AM–3:00 PM Pacific Time. Mileage reimbursement is provided for driving beyond 60 miles round trip. A valid driver’s license, reliable personal transportation, and willingness to travel independently within assigned markets are conditions of employment.
