- Develop engaging training materials, including user guides, tip sheets and quick reference guides, tutorials, and video content, to support the learning process
- Lead or contribute to Organizational Change Management (OCM) efforts, including stakeholder alignment, readiness assessments, and change agent enablement
- Maintain clear communication and collaboration with internal Thunder teams and client business leads throughout the lifecycle of training development
- Evaluate training effectiveness through weekly touchpoints and feedback survey data; iterate and adapt approaches accordingly
- Develop and maintain a repository of training resources and documentation for ongoing client support
- Maintain a deep understanding of Salesforce and AWS capabilities, features, and best practices, incorporating the latest into training modules
Qualifications:
- 2–3+ years of experience designing and delivering Salesforce and/or AWS end-user training at a consulting firm, with a strong focus on developing engaging eLearning modules and digital enablement content
- Deep familiarity with Salesforce and its core clouds (Sales, Service, Experience), as well as Amazon Connect, Field Service and/or Revenue Cloud (preferred)
- Experience training on Agentforce or other AI platforms (highly desirable)
- Experience with video editing tools, virtual meeting platforms, and curriculum development tools (preferably Google Suite, Camtasia, Articulate, Audiate, Canva, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Mural).
- Strong presentation and communication skills, with an emphasis on clarity and engagement
- Ability to develop clear, concise, and user-friendly training materials
- Excellent organizational skills and ability to manage multiple training schedules and projects at the same time
- Apparent creativity and a knack for making the complex seem simple
