Position Overview

The Team Coach is responsible for guiding newly hired Account Managers (AMs) through a structured onboarding experience focused on coaching, performance feedback, and hands-on development. Team Coaches are assigned to support AMs throughout their training program, following them during L&D training and continuing that support through the ramp-up phase. They will provide hands-on development, targeted coaching, and performance feedback during training and in a live production environment. This support is essential to building confidence, reinforcing training, and accelerating speed to proficiency.

Throughout training and an AM ramp-up period, Team Coaches ensure continuity, accountability, and alignment with performance metrics. Team Coaches partner closely with the AM's assigned Team Lead (TL), and complement Team Leads by reinforcing expectations, facilitating performance handoffs, and driving AM proficiency and retention. Team Coaches also collaborate with L&D to identify training gaps and recommend enhancements that support business needs.
