Summary

This role is designed for a seasoned training professional who bridges the gap between high-level operational strategy and hands-on execution.

While technically remote-based in the USA, it requires **30–50% travel** for in-person training and offsites. The compensation package is competitive, including a base salary up to $116,900 plus bonus and equity eligibility. It offers a unique opportunity to shape the training strategy for "Premium and Priority" support tiers within a high-intensity, mission-driven tech environment. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 5+ years of experience in Customer Success or Training, specifically within Tech or Fintech. * Possess intermediate to advanced knowledge of crypto (staking, self-custody, and blockchain). * Enjoy a "player-coach" model—training others while remaining an active practitioner in the queue. * Thrive in high-pressure environments that value "intensity" and continuous feedback.
