Field Sales Trainer

Position Overview

The Senior Sales Trainer brings Outset’s commercial learning strategy to life in the classroom and in the field. Reporting to the Director of Sales Effectiveness, this role is the primary field-facing trainer and developmental coach for the sales organization, translating established curriculum into stronger selling behaviors and more consistent execution.

This is the delivery role. You’ll facilitate onboarding and ongoing training, lead skill practice, ride alongside Area Sales Managers, coach in real time, and reinforce learning where selling actually happens. The Sales Training Program Manager owns curriculum strategy, program design, content, standards, and measurement; the Senior Sales Trainer delivers and reinforces that learning, then carries field insight back into the program. Sales Leadership remains accountable for individual performance, competency, and execution.
