Onboarding Field Trainer

3 Day Blinds (Corporate) • Oakland, CA

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, tracks each new hire's progress, and uses cohort performance metrics to identify gaps and shape support. The Trainer shares readiness information with District Sales Managers and Field Sales Trainers and provides follow-up support as consultants begin running appointments.

When not delivering classes, the Trainer supports the local field team through in-home ride-alongs, appointment observations, hands-on coaching, district meetings, and sales events. The position is hybrid and virtual-first during onboarding classes, but recurring in-field presence is a core responsibility, with field work expected to take up to 40% of working time and potentially more during peak periods. The Trainer also maintains schedules, rosters, and completion records and coordinates session logistics.
