We are building our pool of trusted professionals for First-Time Managers delivery and are now seeking a strong Subject Matter Trainer for client needs connected to Surabaya and Asia.

Opportunity Overview

The role is intended for trainers who can move comfortably between subject expertise, stakeholder discussion, and practical learner application. Sessions should remain relevant to real workplace use rather than abstract theory.

An upcoming client brief requires a capable trainer who can lead First-Time Managers 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.

Key Areas of Responsibility

The expected delivery mode for this brief is Hybrid, and the role should be approached as a Short Series requirement.

• 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 Managers 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 Managers training sessions for client teams linked to Surabaya and wider Asia.
• Maintain strong session control, learner engagement, and professional delivery standards across preparation and live facilitation.

Preferred Background

Relevant practitioner-level experience in First-Time Managers; 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.

• Proven subject-matter credibility in First-Time Managers with evidence of practical business or corporate application.
• Availability for project-based work linked to Surabaya, Indonesia, and wider Asia where relevant.
• Good judgement around pacing, audience engagement, and the balance between technical depth and usability.
• Comfort operating in Hybrid settings and handling the logistical realities of live corporate delivery.

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.
