About The Position

Join Aperia Solutions, a leader in SaaS solutions for the Payments and Compliance industries. Aperia is a Texas-based fintech and managed consultancy firm that creates custom SaaS applications and other software-based solutions for the payments, banking, and processing industry. Founded in 1999, Aperia offers business intelligence, risk management, compliance, and customer intelligence platforms. With offices in Dallas, Washington DC, and Vietnam, Aperia is a fast-paced, global organization that strives to improve efficiency in compliance, risk, and customer service operations. Aperia’s clients include banks, processors, payment facilitators, merchant service providers, independent sales organizations, and government entities. A career at Aperia promises a great challenge, culture, and opportunities to forge your own path. We are consolidating our merchant onboarding and servicing operations onto a unified Salesforce platform. The Training & Enablement Specialist will design and deliver role-based learning that prepares our customer-facing teams to operate on the new platform confidently and effectively. This is a builder role — you will not inherit a finished training library. You will work with the CoE, Salesforce Professional Services, and stakeholders across Sales, Operations, Servicing, Onboarding, and Underwriting to create the learning experiences that drive adoption and change. The ideal candidate brings instructional design discipline, genuine customer service experience, and the ability to translate complex Salesforce workflows into persona-specific learning that sticks.

Requirements

4–6 years in instructional design, training development, or L&D — with at least 2 years in customer service, fintech, payments, or SaaS
Proven ability to design persona-based training that reflects how specific roles actually work — not generic process documentation
Experience building multi-modal content: walkthroughs, e-learning, job aids, knowledge articles, and facilitator guides
Working knowledge of adult learning theory (ADDIE, SAM, or equivalent)
Proficiency with at least one authoring tool — Articulate Storyline / Rise, Easygenerator, or Adobe Captivate
Exceptional written communication — able to make a complex, multi-step workflow readable and actionable for a front-line agent
Confident facilitator across workshop, discovery, and live training formats
Must be willing to submit to a background investigation and drug test as part of the selection process.
Applicants must have authorization to work in the country without the need for sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

Salesforce experience preferred — familiarity with Leads, Opportunities, Contracts, Cases, or Order Management
Experience with Salesforce Knowledge, In-App Guidance, or Einstein features
Background in payments, merchant services, or financial services
LMS administration — SuccessFactors, Easygenerator, Cornerstone, or similar
Experience supporting a platform migration or system consolidation program
