This is a dynamic, high-visibility role where you’ll be the go-to expert on training strategy, systems, and execution—serving as a key partner to leadership while making an impact at the team level. Your work will shape careers, reinforce our values, and strengthen our performance across the organization.

• Lead training initiatives across departments: production, warehouse, sanitation, maintenance, safety, HR, and more.

• Manage an annual training calendar that includes onboarding, cross-training, compliance refreshers, and leadership development.

Deliver World-Class Onboarding

Be the Bridge Between People and Performance

• Partner with department leaders to identify role-specific training needs and close skill gaps.

• Support managers, supervisors, and leads in delivering and reinforcing hands-on, shift-based training.

• Serve as the central resource for all training-related support, planning, and escalation.

Create and Maintain SOPs & Training Content

• Write and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and instructional content in collaboration with subject matter experts.

• Maintain consistent, accessible, and high-quality documentation across all training platforms.

• Continuously improve training tools and resources based on feedback and operational changes.

Leverage Learning Systems & Data

• Manage the Learning Management System (Alchemy or similar), including course creation, reporting, and certification tracking.

• Train leaders and supervisors on LMS usage and hold teams accountable for completion and compliance.

• Monitor training progress and provide reports, insights, and recommendations to leadership.

Support Compliance & Continuous Improvement

• Ensure all training programs meet safety, environmental, and regulatory standards.

• Work closely with the Senior Manager of People Operations to align training with compliance requirements and organizational performance goals.

• Analyze training metrics, identify trends, and propose solutions that drive results.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in a Training Manager or similar role, ideally in manufacturing, food production, or operations-heavy environments.

• Proven ability to design and deliver impactful training programs that drive capability and compliance.

• Strong communication skills—both written (SOPs, guides, content) and verbal (group facilitation, coaching).

• Experience with LMS platforms (Alchemy preferred) and digital content tools.

• Comfortable working cross-functionally and spending time on the production floor.

• Deep understanding of adult learning principles and diverse learning styles.

• Strong project management, organizational, and time management skills.

• Knowledge of regulatory standards related to food safety, quality, environment, and workplace safety.

• Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Development, Education, Human Resources, or related field preferred—but experience and results matter most.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Office-based with frequent time on the production floor (cold storage, noise, standing/walking required).

• Occasional lifting (up to 20 lbs) of training materials or equipment.

• Extended computer use for planning, documentation, and LMS management.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• You’ll have the autonomy to lead, the support to succeed, and the opportunity to truly make an impact.

• You’ll help build a culture of safety, learning, and performance.

• You’ll be a key voice in how we grow, evolve, and invest in our people.
