This role supports the growth of our First-Time Manager trainer pool and would suit a credible Remote Training Specialist available for assignments associated with Johor Bahru.
Role Overview
The requirement is centred on delivery quality, participant engagement, and the ability to align learning interventions with organisational priorities. Client-facing credibility will matter throughout the engagement.
An upcoming client brief requires a capable specialist trainer who can lead First-Time Manager learning engagements for people managers, supervisors, and team leads across Asia. Success in the role depends on practical facilitation, business relevance, and the ability to help clients build stronger people managers and more effective team leadership.
What You Will Support
The current requirement points to Remote / Virtual delivery and should suit someone comfortable supporting One-Off Assignment projects.
- Adapt delivery to the client brief, participant seniority, and the sector context without losing clarity or pace.
- Keep the learning intervention aligned with business priorities, not just topic coverage, so the work delivers visible value to the client.
- Use practical case studies, scenarios, tools, or workflows to make First-Time Manager content easier to apply after the session.
- Facilitate discussion, questions, and applied exercises in a way that keeps learning commercially relevant and outcome-focused.
- Deliver structured First-Time Manager training sessions for client teams linked to Johor Bahru and wider Asia.
- Maintain strong session control, learner engagement, and professional delivery standards across preparation and live facilitation.
What We Are Looking For
Relevant practitioner-level experience in First-Time Manager; strong facilitation and stakeholder communication; credible management experience, facilitation maturity, and strong behavioural coaching capability; able to structure sessions that balance concept, discussion, and application.
- 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 Manager with evidence of practical business or corporate application.
Preferred candidates will bring exposure to people management, manager capability, team leadership, or change leadership, along with experience working with managers, professional learners, or client-facing business teams.
