• Represent Liberator and PRC Saltillo products professionally at conferences, professional development events, and community forums

• Contribute to the ongoing review and improvement of training materials, resources, and curricula in collaboration with the wider team, using participant feedback and current evidence-based practice to inform analysis

• Build and maintain strong relationships with partner organisations, host sites, referrers, and key stakeholders across training regions

• In partnership with the Commercial Operations Coordinator, liaise with local coordinators and service providers to ensure seamless delivery logistics and a positive participant experience

• Act as an ambassador for Liberator's mission and values at all engagements

• Self-manage travel planning, scheduling, and logistics in coordination with the Commercial Operations Coordinator

• Maintain accurate records of training activities, attendance, and outcomes

• Prepare regular reports on training delivery, reach, and participant feedback and submit to the Training Manager
