At NerdWallet, we're on a mission to provide clarity for all of life's financial decisions. Every small business has a unique story, and we're passionate about helping entrepreneurs access the financing they need to start, grow, and succeed. As part of our Small Business Sales team, you'll play a critical role in developing the sales professionals who make that mission possible.
We're looking for a Strategic Sales Trainer who is passionate about developing people, elevating sales performance, and building a culture of continuous learning. This is a highly collaborative, hands-on role where you'll partner closely with Sales Leadership to help Account Executives translate foundational training into consistent execution—with a strategic focus on representatives who have completed boot camp and are within their first 12 months on the sales floor.
A key focus of this role is helping representatives engage more of their existing book of business and deepen customer relationships. Through proactive outreach, thoughtful account prioritization, and discovery of evolving financing needs, you'll teach representatives to uncover opportunities, reengage customers, and earn repeat business. Through live coaching, structured development programs, and AI-powered practice and feedback, you'll develop more strategic sellers who turn stronger customer engagement into sustainable business growth.
Where you can make an impact:
As a Strategic Sales Trainer, you’ll partner with Learning & Development and Sales Leadership to help representatives become confident, strategic sellers who deepen customer relationships and drive repeat business. You’ll:
Build development beyond boot camp. Design coaching, reinforcement, and skill assessments for representatives in their first 12 months. Partner with onboarding facilitators and managers to support the transition to the sales floor, address performance gaps, and establish clear milestones.
Deepen customer relationships and book-of-business engagement. Coach representatives to segment and prioritize their books, reengage inactive customers, uncover evolving financing needs, and develop relationship strategies that generate repeat business.
Strengthen renewal and lender strategy. Help representatives assess financing history, renewal readiness, and existing obligations while weighing current-lender and alternative options based on eligibility, timing, financing structure, and customer needs.
Improve outreach and sales execution. Refine personalized call, text, and email cadences and help representatives balance prospecting within their books, relationship building, follow-up, and active offers.
Deliver hands-on sales coaching. Maintain a consistent sales-floor presence through live observation, call reviews, role plays, and deal strategy sessions. Reinforce Challenger-based and consultative selling across discovery, objection handling, urgency, financing education, lender positioning, ROI, and closing.
Build and scale AI-powered practice. Design and refine role-play scenarios, customer profiles, coaching rubrics, and feedback tools using real call insights. Integrate practice into development plans, drive adoption, and evaluate its impact on sales execution.
Turn data into targeted development. Use call insights, book coverage, outreach engagement, and performance metrics to identify skill gaps and connect coaching to stronger customer engagement, applications, funded units, and revenue.
Keep enablement practical and aligned. Build financing and lender expertise, improve playbooks and job aids, and partner with Sales, Business Development, Product, and Operations to reflect business priorities. Equip frontline managers with insights and coaching practices that strengthen consistency across teams.
Where you can grow:
As a Sales Trainer, you'll help shape how representatives develop throughout their first year and become more strategic sellers who grow lasting customer relationships. You'll have the opportunity to expand AI-powered coaching, strengthen book-of-business management, and build development programs that increase existing-customer engagement and repeat business across the sales organization. Along the way, you'll deepen your lending expertise, build strong cross-functional relationships, and directly contribute to the growth of both our people and our business.
Your experience:
2+ years in sales training, enablement, coaching, or frontline sales leadership within a fast-paced, quota-driven organization.
Demonstrated success improving sales ramp and performance through structured development plans, live observation, call reviews, role plays, and actionable feedback.
Experience selling to or coaching teams serving existing customers, including book-of-business prioritization, reengagement, renewals, and personalized multichannel outreach.
Strong understanding of Challenger, consultative, and transactional sales methodologies.
Excellent communication, facilitation, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to earn trust and deliver direct coaching.
Experience using sales and enablement technologies, such as Salesforce, conversational intelligence tools, sales engagement platforms, or learning management systems.
A data-driven approach to identifying skill gaps and measuring coaching’s impact on customer engagement, sales behaviors, and business results.
Comfort using AI tools and interest in developing AI-powered sales practice and feedback.
Willingness to travel approximately twice per quarter for in-person onboarding, training, and coaching.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience in small business financial services, alternative lending, MCA, fintech, or a comparable high-volume transactional sales environment.
Knowledge of repeat financing and strategies for positioning existing and alternative lenders.
Hands-on experience building AI role-play scenarios, coaching rubrics, or AI-enabled development programs.
Experience designing and optimizing outreach cadences for existing customers.
Formal training or certification in Challenger, SPIN Selling, Sandler, MEDDICC, or a similar methodology.
How you'll know you're successful:
Success in this role will be measured by the impact you have on representative development and sales performance. You'll help representatives reach productivity milestones sooner, sustain progress after boot camp, and build stronger skills throughout their first 12 months.
Your impact will also show up in deeper book-of-business penetration: more existing customers reached, a greater share engaged in meaningful conversations, and more inactive relationships reactivated. You'll help representatives translate that engagement into qualified opportunities, applications, repeat funded units, and revenue growth.
Stronger discovery, account prioritization, renewal and lender conversations, and conversion rates will demonstrate their development into more strategic sellers. AI coaching adoption will be paired with evidence of skill improvement and stronger execution on live calls—helping make coaching an everyday part of winning.

Trainer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a trainer in New York?
The path depends on your specialty. Corporate trainers typically need a bachelor's degree in education, HR, or organizational development, with the ATD Certified Professional in Talent Development credential well recognized by New York employers. Fitness trainers working in New York gyms or studios are expected to hold a nationally accredited certification such as NASM or ACE. Clinical trainers in New York healthcare settings usually need a clinical background plus instructional design experience. No single New York state license governs all trainer roles.
Which companies hire trainers in New York?
Companies currently hiring trainers in New York include New York Sports Club and Our Family of Brands, Equinox, and Petco, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's concentration of financial services firms, major hospital systems, and large technology and retail headquarters means corporate L&D and clinical education teams are consistently among the most active hiring functions in the state.
Which New York cities have the most trainer jobs?
New York, Buffalo, and Brooklyn have the most trainer openings in New York. New York City accounts for the largest share by a wide margin given its density of corporate headquarters, hospital systems, and universities, while Buffalo draws demand from healthcare and manufacturing employers, and Albany's openings are driven largely by state government agencies and higher education institutions.
Are there remote trainer jobs in New York?
Yes, though availability varies by specialty. About 15% of trainer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which reflects a meaningful shift since the rise of virtual instructor-led training. Instructional design and e-learning development roles tend to be the most remote-friendly, while fitness coaching, hands-on technical training, and clinical education roles are predominantly on-site.
How can I get hired as a trainer in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a training coordinator or learning and development associate role, which New York employers use as feeder positions before promoting into full trainer roles. Large New York institutions such as NYC Health and Hospitals and major financial firms run internal development programs that accept candidates from adjacent roles like HR coordinator, teacher, or operations analyst. Earning an entry-level ATD or SHRM credential before applying strengthens a candidate's application considerably in the New York market.
Where can I find and apply to trainer jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to trainer jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search by city or specialty to narrow results to roles that fit your background, then apply directly to the positions that match your experience and availability.
