  • Provide support to sales leaders for ongoing and initial training for their team members.
  • Collaborate with other trainers to ensure consistency in material and to stay abreast of best practices.

• Completion of post-secondary education, ideally at a Bachelor’s degree level within a relevant field such as Information Technology, Education, or a blend of post-secondary education experience and related experience.
• Certified Salesforce Trainer Certification or relevant Salesforce and/or CRM courses or certifications completed or in progress would be a definite asset (e.g., Salesforce Certified Administrator, Sales Certified Advanced Administrator, CRM trainer, etc.).
