Manager of Sales Training and Development

Full-time - Hybrid

CGI Digital is a full-service digital marketing company supporting local businesses to grow through good news, smart strategy and measurable results. We sell Edvertising, a proprietary platform that makes local businesses the trusted, credible authority in their market.

As our Manager of Sales Training and Development you'll make our sales team measurably stronger by producing and developing successful hires, cohort after cohort: turning new reps into top producers, keeping tenured reps sharp, and building a training system that scales without losing quality.

You’ll own initial and ongoing sales training, from running each new class to coaching live, reviewing calls, tracking results, and shaping the overall Hello Nation Sales Training Program collaboratively with leadership. This isn't a one-and-done workshop role. You’ll stay with every cohort for 6–12 months after training and help scale our sales department.
