Zonal Training Manager
Full-time
Ethiopia
Posted on Sep 3, 2026
Job Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
About The Role:
The Zonal Training Manager owns the training and capability agenda for Sun King Ethiopia and is accountable for turning it into measurable commercial performance across the zones in scope. You translate regional and HQ training strategy into on-the-ground execution, and you make sure every Area Business Manager, agent and technician can pitch correctly, demonstrate product functionality, screen and educate customers, and effectively sell and maintain Sun King’s Solar Home Systems and wider product portfolio.
This is a build-and-deliver role in a young, fast-scaling market. You set the quality bar and you personally deliver against it: you design and localise the curriculum, run onboarding, certification, refresher and Sales Clinic sessions yourself, coach in the field alongside the commercial team, and put in place the standards, data discipline and local trainer bench the business will scale on. Roughly 60% of the role is hands-on delivery and field coaching; the remaining 40% is running a disciplined, data-focused training function and managing a strategic commercial mandate cascaded from the Regional Training Manager and tied to the country’s core commercial metric.
