The Impact You Will Make
The Learning & Growth team at Grubhub is seeking a go-getter with experience in either sales, operations, account management or training, who will work diligently to onboard, train and upskill our sales reps and managers in our Restaurant Sales arm of the business.
The right candidate should have domain expertise, specific to the sales industry, and an awareness of the knowledge base and techniques critical to reduce the ramp period for new sales reps.
Given the nature of the role, the sales trainer should enjoy leading a physical (or digital) room and exude commanding presence while also possess the ability to flex and train in a one-on-one capacity. You should be creative yet analytical, confident yet coachable, and comfortable pivoting and adjusting to the different learning styles of our employees.
You’ll need to be ready to dive right in – our staff is always growing and the training never stops. It’s hard work, sure, but it's also a fun place to work!
What You’ll Tackle:
- Lead in-person and remote sales/Restaurant Network onboarding and training
- Facilitate ongoing upskilling for our Restaurant Network teams
- Schedule onboarding programs and related training events for teams
- Work with Learning & Growth Leads, Instructional Designers, subject matter experts, and stakeholders to transform content into an effective in-person AND virtual learning experience
- Act as a subject matter expert by staying up-to-date on current processes, products, and platforms, as well as sales industry trends
- Collect feedback from trainees, hiring managers and stakeholders on the effectiveness of the onboarding program and iterate and/or replicate as needed
- Create effective content, aligned with instructional design principles to fill knowledge gaps and evaluate efficiency to prove return on time, energy and money investment.
- Co-facilitate instructor-led trainings as needed
What You Bring to the Table
- Some type of sales experience: on the floor, making calls, leading a sales or client success team, mentoring sales reps or facilitating sales training programs
- A passion for and experience with training, mentoring and/or teaching adult learners
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Strong organizational and project management skills as well as ability to balance and execute on competing priorities and evaluate the effectiveness of the program(s).
