Sales Trainer

Company Overview

Join us for an enriching journey with Outset, a trailblazing medical device company that is revolutionizing the field of dialysis. Our focus is to create one high performing team, obsessed with progress, in an atmosphere that is brimming with transformative opportunities. The heart of our mission is pioneering a groundbreaking technology that redefines the landscape of dialysis, streamlining complexity and cost, because patients deserve “better” now, not some day.  

At Outset we’re revolutionizing an industry and changing lives. We’re impacting what the future of dialysis looks like by creating a first-of-its-kind technology in order to reduce the cost and complexity of dialysis. FDA cleared for use across care settings, from the hospital to the clinic to the home, the Tablo® Hemodialysis System harnesses modern technology for a new holistic approach to dialysis care. We’re giving providers time back to focus on patient care. And we’re giving patients the power to take control of their life and get back to enjoying the things they love.

Position Overview

The Senior Sales Trainer brings Outset’s commercial learning strategy to life in the classroom and in the field. Reporting to the Director of Sales Effectiveness, this role is the primary field-facing trainer and developmental coach for the sales organization, translating established curriculum into stronger selling behaviors and more consistent execution.

This is the delivery role. You’ll facilitate onboarding and ongoing training, lead skill practice, ride alongside Area Sales Managers, coach in real time, and reinforce learning where selling actually happens. The Sales Training Program Manager owns curriculum strategy, program design, content, standards, and measurement; the Senior Sales Trainer delivers and reinforces that learning, then carries field insight back into the program. Sales Leadership remains accountable for individual performance, competency, and execution.
