Description

While this opportunity is open to qualified U.S.-based candidates, we are particularly interested in professionals located in or near major metropolitan areas with strong corporate Learning & Development communities, including Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Boston,  Nashville, and Philadelphia. 

Relationship Manager (Learning & Development) – U.S. Remote
Build Your Own Learning & Development Consulting Business—with the Support of an Established National Brand

Are you an experienced Learning & Development leader who enjoys building relationships, solving business challenges, and connecting organizations with exceptional talent?

TrainingPros is seeking one Relationship Manager to join our national team. This is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial L&D professional who wants the flexibility of running their own business while leveraging the reputation, resources, and infrastructure of a nationally recognized Learning & Development staffing and consulting firm.

Many of our Relationship Managers are former corporate learning leaders, instructional design managers, talent development professionals, or previous TrainingPros clients who wanted to build a consulting business without starting from scratch.

What You’ll Do
As a Relationship Manager, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to organizations seeking Learning & Development talent while building long-term relationships with both clients and consultants.

Responsibilities include:

•         Develop and grow relationships with new and existing clients.
•         Consult with organizations to understand business challenges and recommend Learning & Development talent solutions.
•         Recruit, interview, assess, and present highly qualified L&D consultants.
•         Build lasting relationships with consultants throughout their engagements.
•         Conduct weekly consultant interviews and talent assessments.
•         Network with learning leaders through professional associations, conferences, and industry events.
•         Maintain a strong professional presence on LinkedIn and other social platforms.
•         Contribute to thought leadership through blogs, presentations, or industry engagement.

What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone who has:

•         7–10+ years of corporate Learning & Development experience.
•         Strong business acumen and a consultative approach to solving client challenges.
•         Outstanding relationship-building and communication skills.
•         Experience interviewing, evaluating, or hiring Learning & Development professionals.
•         An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to work independently.
•         Active involvement in ATD or other professional organizations (or a desire to become involved).
•         Experience working as a consultant, business owner, or within a smaller, agile organization is a plus.

Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree preferred.

Why TrainingPros?
For more than 20 years, TrainingPros has been one of the nation’s leading staffing and consulting firms focused exclusively on Learning & Development professionals.

As a Relationship Manager, you’ll have access to:

•         A nationally recognized brand
•         An established ATS/CRM and consultant database
•         Recruiting, onboarding, payroll, and invoicing support
•         Marketing resources and conference participation
•         Sales training, coaching, and mentoring
•         Warm business opportunities during your first year, when available

While business development is an important part of this role, this is not a traditional high-volume sales position, and cold calling is not required.

Compensation
This is an independent consulting opportunity.

Year One

•         $60,000 annual retainer (paid over 26 pay periods), contingent upon meeting monthly activity expectations
•         Additional commission opportunities

Year Two and Beyond

•         100% commission-based compensation
•         Unlimited earning potential

Many successful Relationship Managers who consistently grow their client relationships earn more than $200,000 annually.

About the Opportunity
Selected candidates will establish an LLC or S Corporation, execute a Partnership Agreement with TrainingPros, and complete a structured five-week onboarding program designed to prepare them for long-term success.

If you’re ready to combine your passion for Learning & Development with the opportunity to build a thriving consulting business, we’d love to hear from you.
