About the Role

ACKO is reimagining insurance for the digital-first customer. We're hiring a Sales Coach & Trainer to own the "why" behind sales performance — not just monitor calls, but diagnose root causes, coach agents 1:1, and build the training and upskilling systems that make improvement stick. You'll work closely with Ops leaders, L&D, and Quality to turn floor-level insight into measurable behaviour change across the sales team.

Skills & Qualification

  • 7 -8 years of experience in sales coaching, quality, or training roles — ideally in a high-volume sales, insurance, or fintech or consumertech environment

  • Comfort working with data — call scores, conversion metrics, productivity dashboards — to find patterns, not just anecdotes

  • Strong facilitation skills, with the ability to lead honest, high-stakes coaching conversations with empathy and clarity

  • Sharp written communication — able to turn floor observations into a crisp insight brief a leader can act on

  • A collaborative style — comfortable partnering closely with Ops, Quality, L&D, and Hiring teams

  • Experience building training content, playbooks, or scenario-based learning modules (preferred)

  • Prior exposure to insurance or financial services sales (preferred)

Responsibilities

  • Own the "what good looks like" for customer conversations — benchmark top performers, refine scripts and objection-handling guides using real call data

  • Build and maintain a behavioural quality rubric, and run deep-dive audits that surface coaching insights (not transactional QA)

  • Identify agents who need coaching using data — call scores, conversion, dashboards — and run structured 1:1 coaching sessions that get to the root of performance gaps

  • Own the feedback loop for training programs — new-hire, refresher, and product training — tracking whether training actually shows up in behaviour on the floor, not just satisfaction scores

  • Track productivity and performance by training batch/cohort, and use that data to spot what's working (and what isn't) in how people are trained

  • Consolidate 1:1 feedback across coaching, quality, and floor observations into a single view per agent, and use it to identify bottom-quartile performers early

  • Design and personally lead upskilling interventions and conversations for agents who need it most, and own their improvement plan through to results

  • Translate floor learnings into inputs for L&D, hiring, and product teams, and build a living playbook of what's working
