GCS Training Manager

As the GCS (Global Customer Service) Training Manager, you will own the design, governance, and scalability of StubHub's global training system across in-house and outsource partners. You will sit within the GCS Enablement team alongside Knowledge Management and Quality Assurance, and your mandate is to ensure the training function operates as a performance lever — not just a delivery mechanism.

This role is for a systems thinker who diagnoses before designing, scales through structure rather than manual oversight, and holds outsource partners to measurable standards. You will lead a team of training professionals and instructional designers while operating as a strategic owner of the function.

This is a dayshift, full-time position, working Monday to Friday with occasional flexibility required to accommodate evenings, weekends and/or holidays based on business needs.

Hybrid environment: This role will begin as in-office 5 days per week for the first 3 months and then shift to in-office 3 days per week to ensure cross-functional collaboration. 10% travel may be required.

You will own the strategy, quality and effectiveness of global new hire training across both in-house and outsource partners while also supporting ongoing training for tenured team members, supervisors and` managers. This role requires strong people leadership, strategic focus and the ability to influence cross-functionally.

What You'll Do:

• Conduct root cause analysis on performance gaps to determine whether training is the right intervention before designing solutions — distinguishing between training gaps, process gaps, and management gaps.
• Own and continuously improve global new hire training across in-house and outsource partners, with a relentless focus on reducing time-to-proficiency and measurable performance outcomes.
• Design and scale training systems that operate effectively without direct oversight — building governance frameworks, certification standards, and accountability structures that hold up globally.
• Provide rigorous governance of outsource partner training: trainer certification, quality scorecards, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement cadences tied to operational metrics (Contact Resolution, AHT, attrition, time-to-proficiency).
• Evaluate training effectiveness using data, proactively identify measurement gaps, and drive reporting improvements to connect training interventions to business outcomes.
• Ensure training readiness for business changes — new processes, policies, and products — with structured rollout and compliance tracking.
• Establish and maintain a structured content review cycle ensuring accuracy, relevance, and alignment with evolving business needs.
• Lead and develop the training and instructional design team, setting high standards for performance, growth, and output quality.
• Leverage AI and automation tools to drive efficiency, scale content development, and reduce manual workload across the training function.
• Partner with GCS Operations, People team, and senior stakeholders to align training strategy to business priorities and communicate impact clearly.
• Additional Responsibilities as assigned.

Who You Are:

• Operationally Grounded: You understand how contact center operations work and use that context to diagnose performance problems before reaching for a training solution.
• Diagnostic Thinker: You distinguish between training gaps, process gaps, and management gaps. You don't default to building content when the root cause is something else.
• Systems Architect: You design scalable training systems, not just programs. You think at the org level — governance models, partner accountability, measurement infrastructure.
• Influential Partner: You build alignment across teams without direct authority, and you push back with data when the business wants a training solution that won't actually move the needle.
• AI and Automation Minded: You actively seek ways to use technology — including AI tools — to scale output, reduce manual work, and improve training quality.
• Executive Communicator: You deliver clear, concise, structured communication to leaders at all levels. You don't bury the point.
• Curious and Rigorous: You ask strong questions before drawing conclusions. You investigate deeply and aren't satisfied with surface-level answers.
• Data-Oriented: You use data to diagnose, decide, and communicate impact — including in environments with imperfect information.

What You've Done

• 5+ years in contact center operations or customer service leadership, with direct accountability for training outcomes.
• 3+ years leading global teams, including manager-of-managers or functional ownership experience.
• Experience governing BPO or outsource partner training programs — including trainer certification, quality frameworks, and performance accountability.
• Track record of connecting training interventions to operational metrics: CSAT, AHT, time-to-proficiency, attrition.
• Experience diagnosing organizational performance gaps and designing interventions at a systems level.
• Familiarity with AI tools and automation in a training or enablement context — or demonstrated curiosity and aptitude to build this capability.
• Experience with large-scale contact centers, global operations, or eCommerce preferred.
• Proficiency with MS Office, project management tools (e.g., Airtable, JIRA) preferred.
• Experience with LMS platforms and content development methodologies a plus — not a requirement.
