I am trying to hash out expectations from management on what they want from the new role as well as myself with training said new person.

If you are that worried about a deadline you don't want a real "jr dev". You want a "dev". I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just clarifying what I believe should be a company's or team's attitude towards hiring a "jr" developer. You are describing basic on-boarding of bringing somebody on. That is the same from jr all the way to senior. If you don't have time to "teach" somebody because you are worried about a deadline, then you aren't looking at a "jr" dev to begin with.
