About the Team
In this role, you’ll be joining the Retail team. The Retail team spans across 7 brick and mortar showrooms and over 45 Nordstrom locations, all crucial to supporting our customers. This team specializes in looking at the diverse needs of our customers and uses their expertise to meet people where they are, guide them where they want to be, and seamlessly solve problems along the way. Our retail team ensures our customers have the support they need to become the best version of themselves.
What You’ll Do
To further this important mission, we are looking for a Retail Training Facilitator. The purpose of this role is to help bring our training program to life in the field.

You will spend most of your time training and coaching in person, with a smaller portion of your time adapting and building supporting materials. You are not the owner of the central curriculum, but you are the person who brings it to life in the field and tailors it to what each team needs.

Lead workshops, role-plays, and floor coaching that build confidence in selling and managing multiple customers at once.
Provide on-the-floor reinforcement during and after launches, new product introductions, and seasonal pushes.
Partner with district and area managers to identify skill gaps and follow up on retraining needs.
Adapt and localize existing training materials to fit territory and location-specific needs.
Build job aids, quick-reference guides, and session decks that support the central curriculum.
Share field feedback with leadership to improve and update programs.
Track attendance, completion, and post-training performance.
Provide debriefs to store leadership and the VP, Showroom Experience on what was covered and where follow-up is needed.
Stay current on product launches, selling techniques, and service standards.
