Senior Operations Trainer

The Senior Operations Trainer is responsible for designing, delivering, and evaluating training programs that build agent capability and support organizational goals across both inhouse and outsourced teams. This role ensures training initiatives align with business objectives, regulatory compliance, and operational performance, while mentoring junior trainers and driving a culture of continuous learning.

The Senior Trainer will be instrumental in reworking the training journey as we rebuild our operating footprint. This includes developing structured learning paths that move agents through staged competencies (offline processes voice handling resolutions/complex cases), and shortening certification timelines by modernizing outdated methods and introducing more scalable, technology-enabled assessments.

Additionally, the Senior Trainer will support the selection and implementation of a new Learning Management System (LMS), helping transition training content into modern, digital formats. The role also requires staying across emerging training technologies, including the use of AI-driven simulations, coaching, and analytics to accelerate agent readiness. Strong knowledge of airline processes, including GDS usage and NDC workflows, is essential to ensure accuracy and operational effectiveness.
