🖍️ This role
As an Operations Associate at Partly, you’ll help build the future of our platform in the UK and across Europe. Reporting to the GM of the UK, you’ll take real ownership across our flagship products for Suppliers and Repairers.
This is not a backoffice role. You’ll be on the front lines, working directly with customers, solving problems quickly, capturing insights that shape our products, and ensuring we do everything necessary to succeed. You’ll partner with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to improve how we onboard, support, and grow key customers.
We’re looking for individuals who want to take on responsibility early, thrive in fastpaced environments, and are motivated by making a positive impact. If you want to learn how to build and scale a business from the inside of one of Europe’s fastestgrowing Series ABstage startups (and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves), this is for you.
The ideal candidate has likely founded their own startup (or done something entrepreneurial), worked at a tech startup or in a similar highpressure environment for 13 years, or is a hyperambitious recent graduate.
💻 What will you do
Help Customers Win by providing direct support across all channels, including onsite visits. Help them get the most out of Partly products and troubleshoot any issues they encounter.
Surface Feedback and Communicate Insights from suppliers and repairers about their experience using Partly products. Work closely with Product and Engineering teams to share insights that contribute to ongoing improvements and innovation.
Collaborate Across Teams by working closely with our UK GM, acting as a support layer across all repairer accounts. Ensure a consistent experience, even if you don’t directly own the relationships.
Contribute to SelfService Resources by improving documentation, help centre articles, onboarding guides, and internal playbooks to reduce friction and scale support.
Spot Patterns and Share Insights by monitoring repairer engagement trends, behaviours, and opportunities for improvement. Share these insights with internal teams to help shape the product roadmap and enhance the overall repairer experience.
