Job Description:

Infotech is seeking a Senior Training and Development Specialist to join our Talent Management team. With a strong background in curriculum design and content development, this position plays a key role in the creation of a comprehensive talent development program at Infotech.

Who We Are

Founded in 1977 by two University of Florida professors to provide statistical and econometric consulting support, Infotech has grown into two distinct businesses: Infotech Consulting and Infotech Systems. Infotech Systems develops e-Construction software solutions to facilitate infrastructure construction, while Infotech Consulting provides expert statistical and economic analysis across multiple industries. Both of Infotech's unique businesses are united by a company-wide commitment to innovation, work/life flexibility and people-first culture.

Headquartered in the growing Celebration Pointe district, Infotech's facility plays host to over 300 thinkers, creators, planners, and doers. Our employees are encouraged to pursue new ideas and see those ideas grow into new products or processes. With a diverse workforce and collaborative, relaxed environment, Infotech is a Gainesville-born pioneer of innovation, committed to its family of employees, customers and community. We are known for our people-first culture, outstanding employee retention rates, and work-life flexibility - a flexibility that has allowed us to transition with ease to a fully remote workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Infotech was recently ranked No. 21 among Florida Trend's "2020 Best Companies to Work For" in the large company category.
