Role Overview

Job Title: Senior Director of Training + Education
Location: Remote
Department: Operations, Education
Reports to: CEO
Salary: $150,000-$195,000

A senior L&D leader who has built, not just managed, a learning function inside a multi-unit franchise system. You think in systems and ship work yourself. You can hold the room with a CMO, a franchisee, the Board and still rebuild a broken module.

The learning platform. Own the LMS end-to-end — selection or rebuild, content architecture, analytics, and integrations with our HRIS, EHR, and POS. Move us from event-based training to daily, in-the-flow micro-learning that managers and franchisees actually use.

Role-based certification paths. Design and deploy a 101/201/301 leveling system for every studio role — Registered Nurses, General Managers, Estheticians, and Wellness Representatives. Each level closes on a certification with a measurable bar. No participation trophies.

Field training & franchisee onboarding. Build the model that takes a new franchisee from FDD signature to opening day and beyond. Train the trainers, stand up regional field coaches, and ensure every new team clears certification before serving a single client.

Ops manuals & brand standards. Keep the documentation that defines how a Restore studio runs current, accessible, and enforceable — translated into training and audits, not binders on a shelf.

New Studio Opening readiness. Own the NSO playbook so every new studio opens with a fully certified team on day one and ramps faster than the current curve.

New service launch enablement. Restore launches new services constantly — hormone therapy, peptides, advanced IV menus, skin health, and more. Partner with Product, the Chief Medical Officer, Medical Operations, and Regulatory so clinical, operational, and selling training ships the day a service goes live. For regulated services, training is the moat that keeps the system compliant.

Cross-functional communication. Build the rhythm — newsletters, huddles, regional calls, video, in-LMS announcements. 200+ studios hear one clear voice from the Support Center.

• AI-powered micro-training delivered daily, in the flow of work

• AI role-play simulators for sales, intake, objection handling, and retention

• Personalized learning paths by role, tenure, and each studio's KPI gaps

• Real-time AI coaching after shifts, calls, and consults

You'll be accountable for:

• First-time client → member conversion, attach, and rebooking

• GM-driven four-wall profitability, labor efficiency, retention, and NPS

• Clinical quality and service-mix expansion for RNs and Estheticians

• New-hire ramp time, certification pass rates, and closing the gap between top- and bottom-quartile studios

Milestones: an AI-powered pilot and a re-engineered roadmap in your first 90 days; 101 certifications live for all four roles by month 6; the full 101/201/301 stack live with documented, attributable KPI impact by month 12.

Qualifications

• Education:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Training and Development, BA, or related field experience.

• Experience:

  • Franchise system experience. You've led L&D inside a multi-unit franchise, not a corporate retail chain or a SaaS company. You built programs franchisees adopted voluntarily.

  • Full-stack L&D ownership. You've personally owned LMS, certification design, field training, franchisee onboarding, ops manuals, and NSO readiness in a distributed service brand.

  • Proven KPI impact. You walk in with specific, attributable numbers. Programs you built and the conversion, retention, profitability, or ramp metrics that moved as a result. You understand and communicate how L&D impacts business decisions and growth.

  • AI-native, not AI-curious. You're already building with LLMs, AI tutors, and agents. You can name the stack you'd stand up here in week one.

  • Clinical & product fluency. You can sit with medical directors and product leaders on regulated services — hormones, peptides, IV, aesthetics — translate protocols into floor-ready training, and ship on the launch timeline.

  • Builder, not delegator. You write your own playbooks, prototype your own modules, and ship your own prompts.

  • 5+ years of experience in developing and delivering scalable and effective training programs within a multi–unit retail or similar environment.

  • 3+ years of people management experience.

• Skills and Abilities:

  • Strong understanding of adult learning principles, instructional design methodologies, and training evaluation techniques.

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex information to diverse audiences.

  • Demonstrated leadership abilities, with experience managing a team of trainers and instructional designers.

  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines.

  • Proficiency in Google Suite and learning management systems (LMS) preferred.

• Health, wellness, medical, or aesthetic services background

• Experience standing up a learning platform from scratch

• Multi-state experience across regulated services

• Prior work training RNs or licensed clinical staff

• Real ownership. A seat on the senior leadership team, a real budget, and the mandate to rebuild this function from the ground up.

• A category leader. 200+ studios, a national brand, and a service menu that keeps expanding.

• Operator culture. We move fast, decide with data, and expect leaders to own outcomes.

• Your work, visible. Every module you ship touches thousands of team members and hundreds of thousands of clients.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and annual bonus

• Insurance benefits effective within 30 days of start date

• 401k match up to 4%

• Monthly fitness reimbursement

• Flexible PTO

• Complementary and discounted therapies in-studio and in-office
