Business Operations Associate (Junior)
£30-£35k starting salary, dependent on experience.
Sixty Learn is a young two-person startup building AI-powered learning technology — already working with global organisations like the House of Commons, Network Rail, Nestlé, and Nationwide.
Now we’re hiring our first team member. You won’t be joining a department. You’ll be joining the business.
One day you might be sorting invoicing or building a cash flow view. The next, creating a sales pack, testing a product feature, or setting up a client pilot.
It’s fast, varied, and sometimes messy — but you’ll see how a startup actually works, not just one small part of it.
If that sounds like your kind of environment, keep reading.
A bit more about us:
* We specialise in learning around “soft” and “people” skills — the things education doesn’t traditionally teach you.
* Our areas of focus are early careers and frontline training — where our mobile tech thrives.
* We have 3 core platforms, supported by people services— we help our clients with content creation & live events to support the uptake of our software.
What you’ll get:
* You’ll work directly with the founders every day — no layers, no middle management.
* Real ownership — you won’t just “help out”, you’ll own things that matter from day one.
* Full business exposure — finance, sales, product, marketing, operations, you’ll get hands‑on experience across all of it.
* A steep learning curve — this role will stretch you. We’ll support you, but we won’t spoon‑feed you.
What you’ll do:
Whatever the business needs. Realistically, it breaks down to:
Operations & client work
* Managing supplier and client onboarding, including data and cyber requirements.
* Building sales packs and supporting client bids and proposals.
* Building and maintaining our CRM.
Finance
* Running core financial processes — invoicing, cash flow tracking and forecasting. You don't need an accounting background; you need to be comfortable with numbers and willing to learn the tools.
Marketing & events
* Creating LinkedIn content and supporting marketing campaigns.
* Helping plan and deliver events and webinars.
Product & delivery
* Supporting project delivery – creating training content, templates, helping turn round client work.
* Supporting product development, testing, feeding in ideas, flagging what's not working.
Internal
* Building internal workflows and systems using AI tools.
The individual who’ll thrive in this role:
You take ownership. You figure things out. You don't wait to be told what to do.
Ideal candidate profile (we don't expect you to tick every box):
* Experience owning and delivering something – we care less about what it was than what you genuinely delivered.
* Comfortable applying Gen‑AI tools to real work – we're an AI company, so genuine fluency matters.
* Strong organisation and attention to detail.
* Comfortable with complex problems and a fast learner.
* Strong written and verbal communication – you’re clear, concise, engaging.
* Comfortable with numbers and basic data analysis – finance is part of the role.
* Entrepreneurial spirit – you want to build things and make a difference to the world, not just coast.
* Practical experience with Excel, Gen‑AI, and workflow tools – applied to real tasks, not just coursework.
Details:
* £30-35k starting salary — dependent on experience.
* Stamford, Lincolnshire — our office location.
* Hybrid working — 3 days minimum in office per week following induction.
* Immediate start available.
* 50:50 board — we’re proud to say our board is 50% female managed.
