This isn't a “run the LMS” job. It's a build-it-from-the-ground-up opportunity to shape how an entire luxury brand learns, grows, and delivers.

At Go Rentals, every interaction is a white-glove moment — and behind every flawless guest experience is a team that was trained to deliver it. As our Director of Learning & Development, you'll own the full employee journey, from a Carcierge's very first day to a Regional Director's next big promotion. You'll design certification programs, lead change in the field, and make professional growth our most powerful retention tool.

If you love turning business strategy into learning that sticks, this is your stage.

What You'll Own

The Learning Strategy

Design and execute an enterprise-wide L&D vision that links every program to business goals, operational excellence, and career growth.


Certification Programs

Build role-based learning pathways and certifications tied to core job duties — from Carcierge through VP — and keep them sharp as roles evolve.

 


 

Field Enablement

Lead the learning side of operational change, equipping field teams across all locations to adopt new systems and processes fast and confidently.


Five-Star Service Training

Craft guest-experience training that upholds our luxury, five-star standards and keeps brand behaviors front and center.

 


 

Measurement & ROI

Use Kirkpatrick-style evaluation to prove impact — tracking time-to-productivity, retention, promotions, and real business results.


Modern Learning Tech

Bring microlearning, mobile-first content, and AI-enabled tools to a distributed workforce that's always on the move.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
