  • Build strong relationships with train-the-trainer team members through hands-on collaboration
  • Partner with HR and division experts on instructional design initiatives
  • Serve as primary facilitator for training sessions and new hire orientation
  • Track training progress and evaluate program effectiveness

What We're Looking For

  • Degree in Education/Training, HR, or related fields preferred (or equivalent experience)
  • 3-5 years of professional training experience, preferably in hospitality/catering
  • Knowledge of catering operations, food safety, and service standards

  • Proven track record in instructional design and adult learning program development
  • Strong project management skills with ability to execute independently
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for extensive local travel
  • Flexibility to work evenings and weekends as event schedules require

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with telehealth access
  • Paid time off 
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
  • Daily complimentary lunch
  • Employee discounts on restaurant and catering services
