About Skills U

Skills U is reimagining how people and organisations grow together.

We are building the world's leading marketplace for human-centric, adaptive learning. We connect companies with expert trainers, coaches and consultants who deliver the skills that matter most for today and tomorrow.

We partner with leading employers and universities to design courses, workshops, and programs that combine technical expertise with human skills, preparing learners for real-world impact.

About the Role

We are building a global network of experienced freelance trainers, coaches, and consultants to deliver corporate training projects. We are looking for people with a deep passion for sharing knowledge and developing others.

You are naturally outgoing, well organised, and a self-starter who does not wait to be told what to do. You are empathetic, comfortable coaching and training, and confident inspiring others. You will be joining a global team of instructors, trainers, program managers, coaches, and community managers.

You should have a solid understanding of your field of expertise and extensive experience as an instructor, trainer, or coach. You bring a deep passion for learning and significant real-world experience.

Your role will be to design and deliver workshops, training, and learning programs (online or in person) in your local market. You will work on a project basis, focusing on making sales skills practical, relevant, and impactful.

Above all, you love working with and supporting people.

What You Will Do

• Prepare and deliver engaging, project-based learning experiences that make sales techniques clear and actionable.
• Build, refine, and update learning materials, projects, and assessments to keep pace with evolving sales practices.
• Provide one-to-one coaching and constructive feedback, helping learners build confidence in prospecting, client relationships, negotiation, and closing, while applying proven sales methodologies in practice.
• Run simulations such as role-plays, pitch practice, and objection-handling scenarios.
• Contribute to the Skills U community of trainers, coaches, and program managers, sharing ideas and best practice.
• Work with a mix of corporate and university partners, delivering both live online sessions and in-person workshops in your local market.
• Highly valued: Leverage your own existing courses, frameworks, or intellectual property where possible, with Skills U providing the platform to scale and monetise your expertise.

The Profile
 

We are looking for trainers and coaches who:

• Have deep expertise in sales coaching and training, with the ability to simplify complex concepts into actionable steps.
• Bring at least 5 years' experience in sales, coaching, or facilitation. Industry experience in B2B or B2C sales is a strong plus.
• Are familiar with established sales methodologies (for example SPIN Selling, Challenger, MEDDIC, or Solution Selling) and can integrate them into practical, relevant training.
• Are confident presenters who know how to engage and inspire a room.
• Can design and adapt learning content, whether leveraging their own courses or developing new ones, to meet real-world needs.
• Can deliver practical training in areas such as prospecting, relationship building, negotiation, pitching, and closing deals.
• Thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and care about helping people grow.
