Head of Professional Development

What You'll Do

Study top performance. Analyze Arrive's highest-performing Sales Managers through observation, interviews, team data, and performance metrics. Identify the traits, strategies, and tactics that get the most out of their teams.
Build the program. Turn those findings into a structured management development program that is in alignment with Arrive’s long term growth objectives. This would cover curriculum, frameworks, tools, and a clear progression from new manager to senior leader.
Coach managers directly. Provide one-on-one and group coaching that helps managers build these skills into their daily habits, including how they run 1:1s, set goals, give feedback, and recognize their teams.
Drive sales performance. Partner with RevGen and Sales leadership to connect manager development to team results, such as productivity, ramp time, margin, new and revived logos and wallet share expansion.
Employee Success Partnership. Partner closely with Employee Success Business Partners (ESBPs) to identify organizational trends, diagnose leadership development needs, understand engagement survey and attrition data, and align coaching interventions with broader talent and retention strategies. 
Improve Retention. Drive talent retention and performance by using data to pinpoint high-impact management behaviors and align leadership coaching directly with business metrics like rep ramp time and account growth that are leaders for retention. 
Measure impact. Define success metrics, track program outcomes, and report results to executive leadership.
Establish buy-in. Partner with the Chief Strategy Officer, RevGen leaders, and operational executives to establish trust, secure buy-in from skeptical stakeholders, and embed a culture of coaching across all business lines.
Scale the model. Build a program that grows with Arrive and extends beyond Sales to other people leaders over time.

Qualifications

A background in organizational psychology, industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology, executive coaching, or a related field. An advanced degree or coaching certification (e.g., ICF) is preferred.

A proven record of building development programs that measurably improved performance and retention.
Strong analytical skills, with comfort turning observations and data into clear recommendations.
