Sr. Trainer - Customer Success Operations

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits.

More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.

We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

About the role

As Human Interest scales for its next phase of significant growth, we're looking for an imaginative, adaptable, and people-centric Sr. Trainer, CSO Enablement. This pivotal role exists to create meaningful, practical, and scalable learning experiences that directly empower our Customer Success organization.

You'll be instrumental in developing and delivering critical training programs, collaborating extensively with Revenue leaders, Partner Marketing, and other Enablement team members. Acting as a thought leader, you'll ensure a seamless experience, always keeping the learner’s journey and experience as your guiding light. This is a hands-on role where you'll roll up your sleeves, default to action, and drive strategies that amplify Human Interest's mission to make retirement accessible to all. Given our rapid pace (i.e., 24,791 mph), you'll need to thrive amidst constant change while consistently delivering successful, high-quality outcomes.

This role reports to the Sr. Manager, CSO Revenue Enablement.

You'll expertly guide employees through self-led learning content, taking full ownership of impactful sessions from start to finish, with additional programs to be supported in the future.

• Maintain a deep, working knowledge across multiple functional areas, delivering training that seamlessly integrates complex processes often opaque to single-discipline practitioners.

Impact Measurement & Continuous Improvement

• Independently drive the creation of innovative training processes and materials, collaborating extensively with subject matter experts to ensure all content is meticulously aligned with critical business objectives.

• Champion organizational directives by actively demonstrating unwavering support for company-wide initiatives and key stakeholder strategies.

Strategic Partnership & Cultural Advocacy

• Partner strategically with operational leadership to meticulously review training needs and pinpoint knowledge gaps. You'll then develop comprehensive plans to address these, closing the loop with data-driven insights.

What You'll Accomplish

• Cement our training culture by unequivocally demonstrating the inherent value of the training function beyond the virtual classroom. You'll inspire unwavering trust in a trainer’s ability to play an integral role in driving significant improvements across the entire organization.

• Deliver top-tier training programs that not only deeply engage learners but genuinely excite them about their roles, empowering them to achieve unparalleled success. Your efforts will consistently yield top-tier feedback from both learners and leadership teams.
