For the PostEx hiring team, Lahore

Assalam o Alaikum.
I am Umair Ismail.

For nine years, I have trained frontline teams.

We spoke on the phone about your Training and Development Manager role. A resume lists jobs. It does not show how a person works, or what he will do once he joins. So I made this page, in my own words.

I have trained the people customers meet first: care agents, sales teams, teachers, and staff in large operations. At PostEx, those people are your riders, your hub teams and your support staff. That is the work I know best, and it is the work I want to do for you.

How I work

One lesson from my first job shapes everything I build.

At PTCL, early in my career, we trained customer care staff on the live system. There was no practice setup. Every click a trainee made was real. One wrong click created a real order, or a real complaint, for a real customer.

I watched careful, good people make costly mistakes for one simple reason: their first try was the real thing.

Since that day, my rule has stayed the same. People should practice where a mistake costs them feedback, not a customer. If you go through my work, you will see this rule everywhere.

What I have done

Nine years, in plain words.

PTCL2017 to 2022, Lahore

I joined as a Training Specialist. I ran needs assessments, then trained new and old staff on products, processes, customer dealing and soft skills. I also gave orientations and coached staff one to one. Later I led learning and process work for customer care. I looked after the knowledge hub where frontline staff found answers during live calls. We had more than 300 procedures. Finding one answer took 12 to 15 minutes. I rebuilt them into short decision cards with fast search. The same answer then took about 3 seconds, and calls to supervisors for help fell by 40 percent.

I made e-learning for a company of more than 2,000 people. I also built the LMS reports and dashboards. For the first time, managers could see on one screen who had finished training, who had not started, and where a team was stuck.

I led learning operations and content for a learning setup with more than 500 users. I built courses in Articulate Storyline 360 and Synthesia, ran the LMS, and checked every course before it went live. Nothing went out with my name on it without a quality check.

I am Assistant Manager, Learning Experience Design. I turn TEVTA course material into digital courses for colleges in Australia. I look after course structure, assessments, onboarding flows, and quality, and I work with their teams every week on delivery.

9+years in training work, across four sectors

I am CHRMP certified. My studies are a Masters in Literature and a Bachelors in Journalism from the University of the Punjab. That background is why I write training in simple words. If a rider or a hub worker cannot follow it on a busy day, it is not finished.

What I bring to PostEx

Your sellers trust you with two things: their parcels, and their customers' cash.

I read your website before writing this page. PostEx gives e-commerce stores their COD money upfront, delivers across Pakistan, and offers same day delivery. A store stays with you when its parcels reach on time and its money comes back clean.

Both of those sit in the hands of frontline staff. One rider who is rude, careless with cash, or unsure at a customer's door can cost you a seller. Training is where that trust is protected. Here is what I would take charge of:

Proof, not claims

Do not take my word for it. Play this.

Before this role came up, I built a training game for delivery riders in my own lab. I wanted to test how rider training should feel if we respect the rider's time and reading level.

It speaks in English and Urdu. A rider who reads very little can still finish it, because it works on voice and pictures first. And a rider cannot pass a mission by riding fast if he rides unsafe. Safety comes first, like it should on your roads.

  • Checking the bike before the shift
  • Spotting hazards on the road
  • Picking up a parcel and keeping it safe
  • Planning the route, on time and safe
  • Handing over the order and taking cash
  • Ratings, and spotting scams

Ready Rider

A full rider shift, played as a game. Six parts, plus a final Boss Shift.

First 90 days

If you give me this role, here is how I will start.

Month 1

I listen first.

I will sit in your hubs, ride your routes with your riders, and listen to your support calls. I will meet your operations and HR teams and run a proper needs assessment. I will also check what training and material you already have. No courses in month one. First, the truth.

Month 2

I build what is missing.

Onboarding paths for riders, hub staff and support teams. Short lessons a frontline worker can finish on a phone. The knowledge hub for daily answers. And a simple playbook so your own trainers and hub leads can run sessions the same way in every city.

Month 3

I test it, and show you numbers.

We run it first with a few Lahore teams. Then we look at the results together: time it takes a new rider to be ready, mistakes in the first weeks, test scores, and what supervisors say. What works, we take to other cities. What does not, I fix.

In their words

Two managers I worked for.

"Umair is an outstanding professional who brings passion, dedication, and commitment to his work. His energy to make things happen was contagious and it helped us achieve great goals. Undoubtedly, Umair was one of the best Trainer, Analyst and Developer we had."
Aamir HabibCX Strategy and Contact Center Operations. He managed me directly at PTCL. From LinkedIn.
"I highly recommend Umair Ismail as a trainer, system developer and in process implementation. He is a self motivated, honest and goal oriented person. He knows his way around people, he does whatever it takes to help others and gets things done."

Thank you for reading this far.

You are picking a person, not a resume. I hope this page gave you a fair picture of the person: what he has done, how he works, and what he will do at PostEx in the first 90 days.

If it looks right to you, I would like to sit with you and talk about your teams in person. I am in Lahore. My phone and email are below, and I will pick up.
