* Ensure all training content is accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with relevant industry standards and regulations.
* Lead training sessions, workshops, and events, both in-person and virtually.
* Commercial Acumen & Performance Management:
* Translate training objectives into tangible commercial outcomes, such as increased average transaction value (ATV), improved sales per door, or enhanced customer retention.
* Work closely with the sales, marketing, and product development teams to ensure education efforts support key business goals.
* Measure and report on the effectiveness of training programs using key performance indicators (KPIs) such as sales uplift, knowledge retention, and participant feedback.
* Manage the education budget effectively, ensuring resources are allocated to initiatives that provide the highest return on investment (ROI).
* Support Senior National Account Managers in developing commercial education strategies to drive product sell-through.
* Team Leadership & Management:
* Manage, mentor, and develop one direct report (Training & Events Executive).
* Conduct regular one-on-one meetings, set performance goals, and provide constructive feedback to foster professional growth.
* Delegate tasks and projects effectively to ensure the team meets its objectives.
* Foster a collaborative and high-performance culture within the regional & global education teams.
* Events, Brand Representation, and Stakeholder Management:
* Serve as a key brand representative at internal and external events, PR opportunities, and industry trade shows.
* Act as a spokesperson or on-screen talent for educational content, brand videos, and live demonstrations when needed.
* Act as the primary regional point of contact for education-related inquiries from both retail partners and professional clients.
* Build strong relationships with key stakeholders, including store managers, clinic owners, sales representatives, and marketing teams.
* Stay informed about industry trends, new technologies, and competitor education strategies to maintain a competitive edge.
Requirements:
