Who We Are
Arrive Logistics is a leading transportation and technology company in North America with plans to grow significantly year over year. Our success is a testament to our remarkable team and what we’re building together. We’re committed to providing employees with a meaningful work experience and have established an award-winning culture that supports personal and career development in a fun, casual, and collaborative environment.
Who We Want
We build the people who build the business. The Director of Learning & Development owns how Arrive develops and retains its early talent. Starting with a new hire’s first day in the classroom, through their role on the floor and beyond. This strategic leader will lead two connected programs, classroom training and floor training. Classroom training is where early talent development and engagement begin and floor training is where new hires are coached in the seat. Together, they form one coaching engine with a single goal of retention.
What You'll Do
Lead the Transformation: Shadow classrooms, floor trainers, BD, Carrier and Client Success teams, and top performers in your first 30 days. Review current content and complete an opportunity analysis of onboarding, training, management development and retention. Identify team needs and make necessary adjustments by 45-60 days to execute your strategic vision.
Own Classroom Training and Early Talent Development: Direct the Classroom Manager and trainers, establishing the classroom as the critical starting point for early talent development. Build and implement programs that equip new hires with the skills, confidence, and sense of belonging needed to succeed and remain engaged.
Drive Early Talent Engagement: Cultivate classroom culture and community to integrate new hires into the Arrive team. Leverage engagement initiatives and travel investments to connect early talent across various offices, cohorts, and leadership levels.
Lead Floor Training: Manage Arrive’s floor trainers to ensure effective in-seat coaching post-classroom. Guarantee that floor training reinforces foundational content, adapts to real-time performance data, and proactively supports struggling hires.
Drive Retention Through Coaching & Collaboration: Connect classroom, floor, and management coaching so new hires are supported at the moments they most often struggle or leave.
Spot Risk Early: Analyze performance metrics and qualitative feedback from trainers to identify struggling hires. Intervene with targeted coaching and strategically redirect investments when necessary.
Coach the Coaches: Empower classroom trainers, floor trainers, and frontline managers with the necessary coaching skills, playbooks, and feedback rhythms to develop and retain their teams effectively.
Build the Management Bench: Oversee the two-year Management Development Rotational Program, strategically deploying classroom trainers across Customer Operations, Customer Sales, Carrier Sales, and analytical roles to build a robust future management pipeline.
Evolve Continued Education: Set continued education priorities using feedback from the Mentorship Directors, Advisory Board and Senior Leadership Team. Partner with a Content Strategist to meet employees where they are through agentic interfaces, delivering content based on individual performance and technology adoption.
Partner on Management Development: Collaborate closely with Management Development to ensure training and coaching initiatives seamlessly feed into Arrive’s leadership pipeline.
Measure What Matters: Define and report impact on the people you develop: early talent who reach year two in the seat, faster ramp to productivity, program effectiveness, and new hires who grow into top performers and leaders.
Other Project Needs: Assist with additional strategic project needs as they arise, demonstrating flexibility and a proactive approach to supporting broader organizational goals.
