Training Manager (80394)

Inter-Con Security Systems•Pasadena, TX

About The Position

The Training Manager is responsible for designing, building, and executing practical training programs that support operational readiness, technology adoption, and consistent execution across the organization. This role is focused on building and scaling training capability in a complex, operations-driven environment, where legacy practices and resistance to change may exist. This position is best suited for a hands-on training professional who brings structure to ambiguity, can operate independently, and is comfortable working directly with operations leaders in fast-paced, no-frills settings. Success in this role depends not only on training design, but on the ability to drive adoption, influence behavior change, and reinforce operational standards. This is an individual contributor role with access to cross-functional support and subject matter experts, but without direct people management responsibilities.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in training, learning & development, instructional design, or a related field.
Demonstrated ability to build and scale training programs in environments with limited structure or documentation.
Experience working directly with operations, field teams, manufacturing, logistics, or similarly fast-paced, deadline-driven environments.
Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into practical guidance.
Proven ability to influence adoption and drive behavior change beyond initial training delivery.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Familiarity with adult learning principles and practical instructional design approaches.
Experience supporting technology adoption or system rollouts.
Comfort working with basic training tools (e.g., presentation software, collaboration platforms); LMS experience is a plus but not required.
Exposure to security operations or other highly regulated industries.

Build credibility with operational stakeholders by understanding real-world constraints and priorities.
Training Delivery & Execution Deploy training programs across onboarding, system rollouts, process changes, and operational initiatives.
