We spoke on the phone about this role, and you have my resume. This page is the short version of my case: the experience that fits this role, the evidence behind it, and what I would do in the first 90 days. I build practical training systems for frontline teams, and I measure whether they worked.
Training Specialist, then Team Lead for learning and process work in customer care. The frontline training case below is from this role.
E-learning for a workforce of more than 2,000, with the LMS reports and dashboards managers used to track training.
Learning operations and content lead for 500 plus LMS users. Monthly training calendar work and trainer coordination, set out below.
Assistant Manager, Learning Experience Design. Digital courses, assessments and onboarding flows, with weekly quality checks.
CHRMP certified. Masters in Literature and Bachelors in Journalism, University of the Punjab. One rule runs through my work, learned at PTCL, where we trained staff on a live system with no practice setup: people should make their mistakes in training, where a mistake costs feedback, not at a customer's door.
Your sellers trust PostEx with their parcels and their customers' cash. Both sit in the hands of riders, hub teams and support staff. This is the experience I bring to training them.
Who I trained. At PTCL, I helped deliver process and policy training to customer-facing teams across Lahore Region, North and South. The rooms were not full of office staff. They included linemen and field staff who met customers at their homes and on the street, and other customer-facing teams working under Business Managers across the region.
What the training covered. Customer handling, PTCL processes and policies, how to respond to customer complaints, and how to reach out or escalate an issue through the right channel when they could not solve it themselves. Training and retraining, repeated as processes changed, and tied to the work people did the same day.
Why it matters for PostEx. In a delivery business, riders are the frontline. What a rider understands about procedures, customer interaction, handling a delivery problem, and when and how to escalate shapes the service your customers remember. I have not trained delivery riders before, and I will not pretend otherwise. What I bring is transferable: real experience of training geographically distributed frontline staff, whose actions reach the customer directly, on procedures, customer handling and escalation.

Frontline operational training and retraining, not office only
Alongside the frontline training, I looked after the knowledge hub for customer care and rebuilt more than 300 procedures into short decision cards with fast search, so staff could find the right step during a live call. A supporting case: it shows my process documentation, knowledge accessibility and standardisation work, and it backed up the training rather than replacing it.

Reported results, recorded by me at the time: not independently audited figures, and not the effect of training alone. Full case study on my portfolio.
At People Perfect, near the end of each month, I contributed with colleagues to preparing the next month's training calendar, for the company and three associated companies. We reviewed training records, checked who had attended and who had missed sessions, and identified who needed upcoming or repeat training.
I also personally facilitated about 5 to 10 training sessions a month in that period, an approximate figure, not a company KPI. Sessions ran inside an allocated budget, arranged through vendors. Owning or approving the overall budget was not my authority.
I supported and coordinated two trainers in our team: their training attendance, help with topic selection, and technical guidance so they were ready to deliver. When new trainers joined, I trained them on the technical side of the role and prepared them for their first sessions.
To be precise, they were not my formal direct reports. My role was coordination, coaching and onboarding. I also designed a competency based program that included leadership development, and facilitated sessions alongside the Lead Trainer.
At Zameen.com I built e-learning for 2,000 plus staff and the LMS dashboards behind it. At People Perfect I built courses in Articulate Storyline 360 and Synthesia and ran the LMS day to day. I do the same design work now at Global Study Options.

For a courier business, examples to validate together could be procedure compliance, delivery quality, failed delivery handling, scanning compliance, or cash reconciliation differences. Examples to baseline with PostEx, not claims about your operation today.
Before this role came up, I built a training game for delivery riders in my own lab, to test how rider training should feel for someone with little time and, in many cases, limited reading. It works on voice and pictures first, in English and Urdu, and a rider cannot pass a mission by riding fast if he rides unsafe.
For courier work, the scenarios I would build next are delivery procedure steps, failed delivery attempts, returns, hub scanning and parcel handover, end of day cash reconciliation, and customer exceptions. These are proposals, not claims about problems inside PostEx.

Sit in hubs, ride routes, listen to support calls, and meet operations and HR leaders.
Turn the findings into a prioritized plan, fitted around shift patterns and busy hours.
Run the first interventions with a few Lahore teams, agreed with your operations leaders.
"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."
"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."
This role means trusting one person with your teams in every city. I have shown you my strongest evidence, stated plainly, including its limits. If it looks right, I would like to sit with you and talk about your teams in person. I am in Lahore, and I will pick up.
