WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a training and development specialist, you will deliver training sessions (anywhere from 2-5 hours) to our clients to uplevel them on using our platform, arm them for a certification quiz, and create a collaborative atmosphere where people can share experiences and strategies.
You'll also be instrumental in designing these training sessions to maximize the learning potential (various interactive strategies, group activities, hands on practice, planning exercises, etc). In 2020, we plan to take these training sessions to our clients around the world. So you should be prepared to travel to Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, and Berlin multiple times in your first year with Braze. You will help build the foundation for our instructor-led trainings (which currently doesn't exist), and eventually we will hire other trainers in Europe and the west coast, so there is an opportunity to be a team lead across those other trainers that we add along the way.
- Leading training sessions with multiple clients at once (in-person and webinar)
- Designing a blended training experience to maximize learner engagement
- Helping create certification quizzes/exams
- Developing the in-person training program as it grows to more locations, covers more topics, and takes various forms (from a low-tier webinar class to a high-tier completely custom training for a top enterprise client)
