About the role

We are hiring a Manager, Fleet Operations Training to own training for the full Fleet Operations workforce. This is not a corporate L&D role focused on leadership workshops. It is an operational training leadership job: you will run the function that certifies Crew to perform safety-critical work and keeps them current as the product, processes, and geographic footprint scale.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years in operational training, enablement, or learning for a large operations workforce, including 3+ years leading trainers, instructional staff, or training PMs (manager of people, not only IC program management)
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Experience building blended programs: e-learning, live facilitation, on-the-job, and train-the-trainer at multiple sites
  • Track record matching training capacity to hiring and launch plans, comfortable with resource contention (vehicles, facilities, trainer ratios)
  • Ability to work in a safety-critical, regulated, fast-changing environment and to translate procedure/product changes into training without dropping live operations
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, proven influence with senior operators, safety, workforce, and technical partners in a matrixed organization

Remote operations: This looks and feels like a high-stakes contact center: nested coaching, certification before live work, quality-driven upskilling, and trainer-to-learner ratios that have to hold as hiring ramps.

  • Ground operations: All the on-the-ground work that it takes to operate our fleet, along with the training programs to enable our R&D Operations. This includes blended e-learning and hands-on and vehicle-in-the-loop training, with dedicated training vehicles and site infrastructure.
