Your Impact Starts the Day You Do! 
We are seeking a Field Sales & Dealer Enablement Trainer who understands sales from the inside and enjoys partnering directly with sales teams and dealer organizations.

  • Build and evolve sales curriculum aligned to products, services, and selling strategies 
  • Partner closely with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Leadership to align learning with sales priorities and performance metrics 
  • Engage experienced, fast-paced sales audiences using strong facilitation and adult learning principles 
  • Stay current on industry, competitive, and market dynamics to ensure training relevance 
  • Serve as a visible, trusted training partner and brand ambassador within the sales organization 
  • Participate in sales meetings, dealer events, and key field initiatives as needed 

What You Bring: 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Education, Organizational Leadership, or related field required. 
  • 3+ years of experience in sales training, sales enablement, or field-based training required. 
  • Proven ability to facilitate training for sales professionals (field, dealer, or B2B) required. 
  • Strong presentation and facilitation skills with frontline and leadership audiences. 
  • Experience developing training that supports selling skills, product knowledge, or sales processes. 

Strongly Preferred  
  • Prior experience in field sales, B2B sales, or dealer/channel sales 
  • Experience training on products, solutions, or consultative selling 
  • Comfort traveling to field locations and working directly with sales teams 
  • Ability to connect learning outcomes to sales performance and business impact 

Role Leveling 
  • Trainer: Minimum 1 year of related experience; sales training or enablement exposure preferred. 
  • Senior Trainer: Minimum 3 years of progressive training and content development experience, with demonstrated success in a sales or sales enablement environment required.
