[Hiring] Sales Training & Development Manager @DPL Financial Partners

Role Description

Our sales team, top performers, and leaders have deep knowledge of our business, our products, and what great conversations with advisors and clients look like. We're creating this new role to turn that knowledge into a structured, measurable training program that helps every member of our sales team be more effective.

• Some training materials exist today, but they're outdated, so this role is largely a build.
• You'll create our onboarding, product and platform training, and learning paths, reusing existing materials only where they still help.
• This role requires no travel, though you're welcome to travel with External Sales to observe the sales process.
• This is not a role that only delivers existing content; the right person draws knowledge out of experts, organizes it into clear programs, delivers it well, and shows that it changes how people perform.

Qualifications

• You're a builder with experience creating training programs from scratch.
• You're curious about how experts think and skilled at drawing out what they know.
• You measure what matters, focusing on performance changes.
• You hold a high standard for quality, stay organized, and deliver reliably against a plan.
• You adapt well to change and see evolving priorities as opportunities.
• You communicate clearly and confidently recommend better approaches.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in building new training programs in learning and development, instructional design, or sales training.
• Experience turning subject-matter expert knowledge into training programs end to end, using a recognized design approach such as ADDIE or SAM.
• Experience building competency frameworks, assessments, and scoring rubrics.
• Experience measuring training effectiveness beyond completion rates.
• Strong command of blended learning, including when each format works best.
• Confident, engaging facilitation, both in person and virtually.
• Skill at interviewing experts and turning what they know into clear, structured learning.

Company Description

DPL Financial Partners was founded to remove the problems created by commissions-complex and expensive products, conflicted sales practices, eroded benefits-and put the power in the hands of fiduciaries and retirement investors.
