Training Coordinator

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Training Coordinator to join our team.

Position Description

The Training Coordinator plays a foundational role in establishing and maintaining the company's formal training and qualification program. This position focuses on the coordination, development, and implementation of training processes and infrastructure across the organization, with an emphasis on compliance, consistency, and effective learning practices.

This role does not serve as a primary trainer or instructor. Instead, the Training Coordinator partners with subject matter experts (SMEs), managers, and stakeholders to define training needs, organize and document training content, and manage training records and systems. The ideal candidate brings experience or education in training, instructional design, or a related field, along with strong organizational and administrative skills suited to a growing, regulated environment.

Specific responsibilities may include:

- Support the development and rollout of the company's formal training and qualification program, including procedures, workflows, and documentation.

- Coordinate with SMEs and department leaders to identify training needs, define learning objectives, and plan training activities (e.g., courses, OJT, assessments).

- Assist in creating and maintaining training matrices, role-based qualification requirements, and individual training plans.

- Help standardize training materials by managing version control, formatting templates, and ensuring alignment with company policies and regulatory expectations.

- Administer training management tools (e.g., LMS, tracking spreadsheets, databases), including course setup, user management, and record maintenance.

- Track, compile, and maintain accurate training and qualification records to support audits, inspections, and internal reporting.

- Coordinate scheduling of training sessions, workshops, and assessments with internal trainers, SMEs, and external providers.

- Support the development of metrics and dashboards to monitor training completion, program effectiveness, and compliance status.

- Assist with internal communications related to training programs (e.g., announcements, reminders, instructions to participants and managers).

- Contribute to continuous improvement of training processes by gathering feedback, identifying gaps, and proposing updates to procedures and tools.

- Collaborate with Quality Assurance and other functions to ensure training and qualification requirements are integrated into broader quality and regulatory programs

Minimum Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in education, instructional design, organizational development, technical/scientific field, or a related discipline; or equivalent experience (3 years experience in training coordination, instructional design support, or similar roles may be used in lieu of a degree).

- 1-3 years related experience in training or a similar field, including implementation of interdisciplinary programs and processes.

- Familiarity with basic training and instructional design concepts (e.g., learning objectives, adult learning principles, training evaluation).

- Experience with training administration tasks such as tracking completion, generating reports, and maintaining training files or databases.

- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (or equivalent) and comfort working with spreadsheets, databases, and document templates.

- Ability to understand and follow documented procedures, and to help improve them

Bonus Qualifications:

- Experience supporting training or qualification programs in regulated industries (e.g., nuclear, aerospace, defense, medical, pharmaceutical, or similar).

- Exposure to learning management systems (LMS) or electronic training/qualification tracking tools.

- Prior involvement in building or improving training programs, curricula, or competency frameworks.

- Coursework or certification in instructional design, training & development, or adult education.

- Familiarity with quality management systems, compliance-driven environments, or audit processes.

Competencies

We are looking for a Training Coordinator that is:

- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong documentation and record-keeping skills.

- Able to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and stakeholders in a dynamic environment.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including clear instructions and status reporting.

- Comfortable working with technical content and collaborating with subject matter experts.

- Curious, proactive, and eager to help build a training program from the ground up.

- Strong follow-through and sense of ownership for assigned responsibilities

Who you are:

A startup person: You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don't need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won't enjoy working with us! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that.

Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn't about a fake or arbitrary "pieces of flair" mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals.

A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren't about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren't about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team.

An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.

Creative: Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you are able to identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will not only be creative, but also enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day-by-day.

Detail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward.
