Are you excited to shape how people grow, perform, and build the skills they’ll need for what’s next at Jobber?

About Jobber

Jobber exists to help people in small businesses be successful. We work with small home service businesses, like your local plumbers, painters, and landscapers, to transform the way service is delivered through technology. With Jobber they can quote, schedule, invoice, and collect payments from their customers while providing an easy and professional customer experience. Running a small business today isn’t like it used to be—the way we consume and deliver service is changing rapidly, technology is evolving, and customers expect more. That’s why we put the power and flexibility in their hands to run their businesses how, where, and when they want!

Our culture of transparency, inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation has been recognized by Great Place to Work, Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, and more. Jobber has also been named on the Globe and Mail’s Canada’s Top Growing Companies list, and Deloitte Canada’s Technology Fast 50™, Enterprise Fast 15, and Technology Fast 500™ lists. With an Executive team that has over thirty years of industry experience of leading the way, we’ve come a long way from our first customer in 2011—but we’ve just scratched the surface of what we want to accomplish for our customers.

The Team

The People team at Jobber builds an environment where the very best people can do amazing work. From your first point of contact with one of our recruiters, through your onboarding to your performance and time in the company, the People team is here to help you be successful during every aspect of your time at Jobber.

A part of our larger People department, the Talent Development team focuses on helping the people who help small businesses to be successful. We ensure that Jobberinos are equipped to be successful by making sure they have access to the right support and resources, allowing them to maximize performance and impact in their roles.

The Role

Company-Wide Learning & Performance Enablement

• Oversee end-to-end employee learning across Jobber — from onboarding that ramps people fast, to functional skills training that closes real gaps.
• Partner with teams and leaders to make learning stick, empowering them to connect development to real work, not just one-off events.
• Oversee Jobber’s coaching strategy: from individual coaching to building coaching capability in our leaders.
• Lead our annual company-wide Professional Development Day, partnering with Employee Experience to ensure it aligns with strategic priorities and reinforces a culture of connection and growth.
• Facilitate high-impact learning experiences for all employees to embed practical skills and mindset shifts.

Leadership Development
