- Systematically collect training feedback and operational user pain points, funneling these insights back to Product and Engineering to inform roadmap planning, upgrades, and feature releases.
- Establish UAT strategy and quality gates for training programs, ensuring deep educational readiness, operational standards, and brand consistency.
- Synchronize connected AI narratives and specific, role-based use cases in tight coordination with Omni product training teams.
- Design, build, and distribute interactive training materials that provide hands-on, simulated experiences tailored to users of all technical skill levels.
- Continuously iterate training curricula to reflect live changes in internal tooling, external model partnerships, and emergent agentic technology.

- Excellent presentation and visual communication skills, with a track record of designing interactive learning modules, video assets, and digital training collateral.
