About The Position

All training content is already developed. You’ll bring it to life! While the role is based primarily onsite in Oriskany, New York (more than 75% of the time), you’ll have flexibility to work remotely when not delivering training and may travel occasionally to support sessions at additional locations.

• Experience delivering virtual training (e.g., Zoom, Teams, WebEx).
• Knowledge of learning theories, LMS/LCMS systems, and training evaluation methods.
• Background in insurance fields (dental, disability, long-term care, health) or the financial industry — helpful but not required.

Responsibilities

• Deliver Engaging Learning Experiences: Lead classroom-based (mostly) and virtual training (ILT & VILT) for new hires.
• Facilitate sessions using a variety of methods that support adult learning styles.
• Guide learners through structured materials including learner guides, facilitator guides, and hands-on exercises.
• Be the Face of Training: Deliver training programs consistently and effectively — earning strong evaluation scores and learner satisfaction.
