Partner Development Coordinator

Do you thrive in a role where structure, coordination, and development come together? As our new Partner Development Coordinator, you’ll help deliver seamless assessment journeys and engaging development activities for future partners across Northern Europe. 

Specsavers stores are operated and co-owned by our dedicated Partners. These Partners are shareholders in their own locally run business and receive full support from Specsavers across areas like marketing, IT, finance, and operations.  

 
Because of this unique model, the Partner Development team plays a crucial role in ensuring future Partners are well‑prepared, supported, and fully equipped for store ownership - from assessments to training and ongoing development 

To strengthen our Internal Partner Development Programme, we're expanding our team with a Partner Development Coordinator to help shape how we coordinate and deliver assessments, training activities, and partner development processes across the region. 

Your role 

As Partner Development Coordinator, you’ll ensure that our partner’s assessment and development activities run smoothly from start to finish. You’ll work closely with the Partner Development team, Recruitment, and country stakeholders to keep processes organised, timelines on track, and candidates fully supported. 

Your work will combine detailed administration, stakeholder coordination, logistics planning, and hands‑on support across both virtual and in‑person activities. From managing schedules and systems to preparing materials and overseeing event logistics, you’ll help create a structured, professional experience for every candidate. 

You will: 

• Coordinate assessment activities, including planning, communicating, scheduling, and on‑the‑day support. 
• Maintain a clear overview of candidates and keep their journey up to date in our systems. 
• Support a professional, structured, and transparent candidate experience — before, during, and after assessments. 
• Handle documentation, communication, and reporting across the Partner Development and Recruitment teams. 
• Support the organisation of assessment days and development events, including venues, agendas, materials, and stakeholder involvement. 
• Collaborate with key teams to align on readiness, training activities, and candidate preparation. 
• Provide general administrative support and help ensure processes run efficiently and consistently. 
• Work proactively to solve scheduling challenges and manage multiple moving pieces with confidence. 

Your new team 

You’ll join a small, supportive Partner Development team based at our Northern European Support office in Copenhagen. We work closely with colleagues across Northern Europe, including Recruitment, Retail, and our country‑based field teams. 

 
You’ll be part of a collaborative environment where we value structure, smooth coordination, and making the experience great for candidates and stakeholders alike. You’ll also have the opportunity to travel occasionally to support training activities or key events. 

Your qualifications 

You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy bringing order and clarity to busy processes and love making things run seamlessly behind the scenes. 

You bring: 

• Coordination experience from assessments, recruitment processes, learning & development, or similar structured processes 
• Strong skills in planning and logistics for events or training activities 
• Excellent attention to detail and confidence handling systems, data, and documentation 
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work professionally with many different stakeholders 
• Experience working with administrative tasks in a fast‑moving environment 
• Fluency in English and at least one Nordic language 
• Experience with candidate systems (e.g., Avature) and retail/franchise environments is an advantage. 

On a personal level, you’re highly organised, proactive, and adaptable. You enjoy creating structure, building good relationships, and supporting others. You’re detail‑oriented, friendly, and confident navigating many parallel tasks — always with a service‑minded approach. 

Your development 

Within 3 months, you’ll: 

• Be onboarded and familiar with our assessment processes, systems, candidate journeys, and Partner Development framework. 
• Gain understanding of our candidate tools, documentation standards, and how we collaborate across teams and markets. 
• Support and work on core coordination tasks, including assessment activities, data tracking, and event preparation. 

Within 6–12 months, you: 

• Run assessment coordination and event logistics independently. 
• Understand how our development ecosystem fits together and how your role supports the broader strategy. 
• Can be the go‑to person for scheduling, candidate tracking, documentation, and assessment logistics. 
• Deliver smooth processes, structured communication, and reliable coordination that enhance the partner experience. 

Further development: 

• We have a strong focus on your personal development plan to make sure that your competencies and skills continue to be best in class 
• You can choose a career path within Specsavers you perceive as your personal journey. 
• You can grow professionally in an organisation that recognises your skills and personality.
