Director of Training and Program Enablement

The Director of Training and Program Enablement is responsible for the design, content, and delivery of training for Galileo’s camp program, including Camp Directors and all camp teams. 

This role focuses on execution and effectiveness. You will translate operational priorities into clear, usable training and resources that enable teams to run high-quality, safe, and consistent camp experiences.

You will own training content and delivery end-to-end, while partnering cross-functionally to ensure alignment with broader program priorities. You will collaborate closely with the Education Product team as they develop learning architecture and large-scale learning systems, coordinate with cross-functional subject matter experts to ensure their expertise is represented throughout our trainings and resources, and continuously iterate and improve training design and delivery in order to best serve our Field teams, camp leadership, and camp staff.

This role reports to the VP of National Field Operations and partners closely with Field Operations, Educational Product, and the People Team.

Why This Role Matters

This role directly impacts the quality and consistency of the camp experience and how we bring our mission to life. We achieve that mission when camp teams are equipped to create experiences that build innovation skills, foster a growth mindset, and inspire creative confidence in every camper.

Strong training ensures:

• Camp teams are confident and prepared going into the summer

• Operational expectations are clear and consistently executed

• Our approach to innovation and learning shows up in every camp experience

Within the first year to 18 months, this role also plays a key part in helping Galileo move toward more cohesive and scalable training systems. You will be part of a project team led by the Education Product function with a mandate to re-imagine and up-level our learning architecture and content design principles, and then apply this new thinking to a broad array of field-focused training material in pursuit of simplicity, consistency, utility, and ultimately effectiveness in driving outcomes for staff and campers.
