Assignment Overview
Client is seeking an experienced trainer to deliver First-Time Managers training for people managers, supervisors, and team leads in Astana, Kazakhstan, and across Asia. The assignment suits a commercially credible facilitator who can help clients build stronger people managers and more effective team leadership.

- Facilitate discussion, questions, and applied exercises in a way that keeps learning commercially relevant and outcome-focused.

- Strong communication and facilitation skills, including the ability to explain complex material in a clear and applied way.
- Confidence working with client stakeholders and adjusting delivery to different business contexts, sectors, and learner groups.
- Previous experience delivering training, workshops, facilitation, coaching, or advisory work for professional audiences.
- Proven subject-matter credibility in First-Time Managers with evidence of practical business or corporate application.
Strong practical expertise in First-Time Managers; prior experience delivering corporate learning or facilitation engagements; credible management experience, facilitation maturity, and strong behavioural coaching capability; able to tailor delivery for adult learners and client stakeholders.
Strong fit for consultants, trainers, or practitioners with experience in people management, manager capability, team leadership, or change leadership and a track record of supporting professional capability-building initiatives.
