This Heart + $ philosophy still guides the vision of our growing company, which has helped millions of people find solutions for their financial needs.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

As a Corporate Trainer for Freedom Financial Network, your role is crucial. You embody the core values, continue to foster and promote our great culture, and are passionate about helping to prepare our new employees to move into their positions successfully.

Corporate Trainers at Freedom spend a lot of time in the classroom, (virtual or live) delivering content in a fun and creative way to help boost the employees performance on the production floors. Youll collaborate with other Trainers to review the facilitation guide and come up with innovative ways to deliver the content in a way that lands with the learners and prepares them for post-class assessment. When not training, youll work alongside operational leaders during the nesting period, partnering with them to coach agents during their first week on the floor.

Our Trainers have a desire to develop themselves and know the importance of education and training. Becoming a Trainer with Freedom can give you the opportunity to rotate facilitating New Hire sessions, participate in Real Colors Training, collaborate with Instructional Designers to learn more about the facilitator guide creation, and some of our roles will allow you to certify to become an Adjunct Faculty member with Rio Salado College (helping our learners to earn Rio Salado credits as well!)
