Partner Operations Specialist

Actionstep is looking for a highly organised and relationship-focused Partner Operations Specialist to support the success of our Actionstep Certified Partner ecosystem.

This role sits at the intersection of partner enablement, delivery coordination, and operational support. You will work closely with partners and internal teams to help ensure partner-led implementations run smoothly, onboarding is well coordinated, and delivery progress remains visible across engagements.

If you enjoy bringing structure to fast-moving environments, coordinating complex workstreams, and building strong working relationships across teams, this role offers the opportunity to make a real impact in a growing global SaaS company.

As a Partner Operations Specialist, you will play a key role in supporting our partners and internal teams to deliver successful customer outcomes.

You will help coordinate partner onboarding and enablement activities, maintain operational visibility across partner-led implementations, and support delivery coordination across multiple engagements. This includes tracking milestones, managing risks and follow-up actions, coordinating internal resources when required, and supporting governance rhythms across the partner ecosystem.

You will also build strong working relationships with partners and internal stakeholders, helping navigate delivery challenges and ensuring alignment across commitments, timelines, and delivery expectations.

Success in this role requires strong organisation, clear communication, operational thinking, and the ability to work confidently across multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
