About The Wilkinson Firm

TWF's Premium Hospitality and Event Staffing division runs captain-led, W-2 teams at hotels, venues, caterers, and corporate events. Our Gold Shield Certification is the brand promise our clients buy. We need a Hospitality Training Manager who can own our internal training curriculum AND productize Gold Shield Certification into an external revenue stream we can sell to other hospitality firms.

Who we want

Hospitality training and L&D professionals with 8+ years experience. Former hotel F&B leaders, banquet directors, or convention center ops leaders who transitioned to training and curriculum work. AHLEI Certified Hospitality Educator, ATD Master Trainer, or equivalent credential a plus.

What you would do

Own the Captain School curriculum across all TWF markets
Train new banquet captains, event leads, and shift supervisors
Maintain Gold Shield Certification standards across markets
Build external Gold Shield training products that can be sold to other hospitality firms as B2B training license
Deliver client-facing training engagements (hotel teams, catering operators, venue staff)

Compensation

$75-150/hr for internal training work. 20-30% profit share on external Gold Shield certification sales (B2B training revenue from outside hospitality firms). The productization side has $100K-$500K annual recurring revenue potential.

Why this works

Most hospitality firms have not productized their training. If you can build it, you participate in the upside.
