Training Officer

Build a high-performing sales team for a mission-driven insurer serving the global diaspora

Join a sales team that cares about doing right by customers, not just hitting numbers. We move fast, test things, and give you ownership to build a training program that directly impacts revenue and customer outcomes. If you like seeing people improve because of what you teach, you’ll love this role.

Diaspora Insurance provides bespoke insurance solutions to African diaspora (expatriate) communities across the UK, EU, and beyond. We’re growing fast and need a Training Officer to own onboarding and ongoing training for our sales team.

Work with sales leadership to identify skill gaps from call recordings, QA scores, and sales data.

Keep training materials updated as products and processes change.

Track training impact on ramp time, conversion rates, and quality metrics

What you’ll bring

3+ years in sales training, sales enablement, or sales management — insurance/financial services preferred.

Experience delivering both live and virtual training to sales teams.

Strong understanding of consultative selling and objection handling.

Comfortable creating simple, clear training materials — slides, scripts, one-pagers.
