1What this role really is

This role is all about making sure our learning programmes actually run smoothly. Think of yourself as the engine room of our L&D function, keeping the lights on and the systems humming. You'll be the go-to person for how things actually work day-to-day, from getting courses live to making sure everyone can access them without a fuss.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Cornerstone OnDemand (LMS)Intermediate

Daily administration: uploading courses, managing user groups, running standard reports, troubleshooting access issues, configuring learning assignments.

Workday HCM (HRIS)Intermediate

Running reports to validate employee data, identifying data discrepancies that impact learning assignments, understanding core employee data structures.

Power BI (Analytics & BI)Basic

Running pre-built reports, exporting data for simple analysis, updating existing dashboards with new data, and occasionally building very simple new visualisations.

Jira / Asana (Project Management)Intermediate

Updating tickets and tasks for course launches or system updates, tracking your own progress against project timelines, using the tool for team communication and task allocation.

Confluence (Collaboration & Documentation)Intermediate

Articulate 360 (Storyline, Rise)Basic

Performing quality assurance (QA) checks on courses built by instructional designers, making minor text or image edits, and publishing final SCORM packages to the LMS.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Course Configuration & LaunchFollows detailed instructions and templates; all configurations reviewed by senior team member before launch.Independently configures and launches standard courses; consults manager for complex or bespoke requirements. Owns the QA process.Defines and refines course configuration standards; makes decisions on complex content packaging (SCORM/xAPI) and assigns resources for launches.
Learner Support & TroubleshootingResolves basic password resets or navigation queries; escalates all technical issues.Diagnoses and resolves most Tier 1 and Tier 2 technical issues (e.g., course completion errors, access problems); escalates only complex system bugs to vendor support or manager.Acts as the final internal escalation point for complex learner issues; makes decisions on workarounds or system adjustments to resolve problems.
Process ImprovementIdentifies minor inefficiencies; proposes suggestions to manager.Identifies and proposes solutions for medium-sized process inefficiencies; implements approved changes independently and documents them.Leads the design and implementation of significant operational process improvements across the L&D function, often involving multiple stakeholders.
Data Integrity & ReportingRuns pre-defined reports; flags obvious data errors to manager.Runs and validates standard reports, identifies data discrepancies, and works with HRIS or manager to resolve them. Can build simple custom reports.Defines data governance standards for learning data; designs and builds complex dashboards; makes recommendations for data integration improvements.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Learner Support Ticket Resolution Rate
How many Tier 1 support requests from learners you manage to resolve yourself without escalating.
Target · 90% of Tier 1 tickets resolved directly

If we get 100 basic 'I can't log in' or 'Where's my course?' tickets in a month, you'd sort out 90 of those yourself, leaving the trickier ones for the Senior Specialist.

Course Publishing Accuracy
The error rate on new course uploads, updates, and configurations within the LMS.
Target · <1% error rate on all course configurations

If you publish 50 courses or updates in a quarter, you'd have no more than one instance where a link was broken, a course wasn't assigned correctly, or the wrong version went live.

Reporting Timeliness & Accuracy
Ensuring all standard weekly and monthly operational reports (e.g., completion rates for compliance) are delivered on time and the data is correct.
Target · 100% on-time delivery with zero data discrepancies

The 'Mandatory Compliance Training Status' report is due every Monday morning. You'll have it in the inbox by 9 AM, and the numbers will match what's in the LMS exactly.

Process Improvement Implementation
The number of small-to-medium process improvements you identify, propose, and then implement to make our operations more efficient.
Target · At least 2-3 implemented improvements per quarter

You notice that getting new starter data from HRIS is a manual mess. You propose and then implement a new, semi-automated way to pull that data, saving the team an hour a week.

Stakeholder Communication & Responsiveness
How clearly and proactively you communicate with internal teams (like Instructional Design and HRIS) and how quickly you respond to their operational queries.
  • Feedback from peers and your manager will highlight if you're keeping people in the loop. Are you giving clear updates on system issues? Do people feel informed about course launch schedules? Are you easy to get hold of when they need help?
Problem-Solving Approach
Your ability to methodically diagnose issues, propose sensible solutions, and learn from challenges, especially when things go wrong with the tech.
  • When the LMS throws a wobbly, do you panic or do you systematically work through it? We'll look for evidence of you troubleshooting effectively, documenting what you did, and suggesting ways to prevent it happening again. Your post-mortem notes will show this.
Contribution to Documentation & Knowledge Sharing
How well you maintain and contribute to our team's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and knowledge base, making it easier for everyone to do their job.
  • Are your SOPs up-to-date and easy to follow? Do you add new 'how-to' articles when you figure something out? Your manager will check this, and other team members will tell us if your guides are actually useful.
Data Integrity & Cleanliness
Your ongoing efforts to spot and help fix discrepancies in our learning data, ensuring our reports are based on solid, accurate information.
  • We'll see this in the quality of your reports and your proactive flagging of issues. Do you spot when a learner's department is wrong, or when a course completion hasn't synced properly? Are you working with HRIS to get things sorted?

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Bringing Order to Chaos

You'll feel a real sense of satisfaction when you streamline a messy process, get a new system running smoothly, or clear up a backlog of support tickets. Seeing things organised and efficient genuinely makes you happy.

Turning a manual course enrolment process that took hours into a semi-automated one that takes minutes, and then documenting it so everyone can follow it.

Solving Puzzles & Troubleshooting

When a learner can't access a course or a report isn't pulling correctly, you'll enjoy the challenge of digging in, figuring out the root cause, and finding the fix. It's like being a detective for learning tech.

A user reports a strange error message when trying to complete a compliance module. You methodically check system logs, user permissions, and course settings until you pinpoint the exact configuration error and resolve it.

Enabling Others to Learn

Even though you're not directly teaching, you'll know that your work makes it possible for thousands of colleagues to access the training they need. You're the unsung hero behind their development.

Successfully launching a new mandatory training programme for 5,000 employees, knowing that your operational work made it accessible and trackable for everyone.

What frustrates people
  • HRIS data is a mess: Your entire learning ecosystem relies on accurate employee data from HR. When that data is wrong (incorrect manager, outdated job code), every report, every automated assignment, and every dashboard can break. You'll spend a fair bit of time chasing data clean-up with HR.
  • The LMS is always the scapegoat: The instructional design might be dull, the content might be irrelevant, but learners will often blame the 'clunky LMS' first. You'll become the de facto complaint department for the entire L&D function, even for things outside your control.
  • The 'urgent' executive request: Getting a demand from a VP at 4 PM for a 'simple report' on their team's learning that actually requires you to manually pull, clean, and merge data from three different systems, completely blowing up your planned work for the next day.
  • Chasing Subject Matter Experts (SMEs): Your project timelines will sometimes be held hostage by busy SMEs who are too swamped to review content or participate in User Acceptance Testing (UAT), yet they'll be the first to complain if something is wrong after launch.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine: While you'll build processes, the nature of operations means unexpected issues will pop up daily. Expect 2-3 urgent requests weekly that mess up your carefully laid plans.
  • Constant, cutting-edge innovation: While we use modern tools, a lot of the work is about maintaining stability and improving existing systems, not always building brand new things from scratch.
  • Direct instructional design: You won't be designing learning content yourself, though you'll work closely with those who do. Your focus is on the delivery and infrastructure.
  • Zero data headaches: If you need perfectly clean data handed to you on a plate, you'll struggle. A big part of this role is dealing with messy data and figuring out how to make it usable.

6Who you work with

This role is absolutely critical for the smooth running of our entire learning ecosystem. When you do your job well, our colleagues get a seamless learning experience, mandatory compliance training actually gets completed, and we have reliable data to show how our programmes are performing. If the operations side isn't solid, even the best learning content won't reach its audience effectively, and we'll struggle to prove our value to the wider business.

Inside the business
  • Your L&D Manager (for guidance and priorities)
  • Instructional Designers (to get courses published)
  • HRIS Team (for employee data feeds)
  • IT Support (for system integrations and wider tech issues)
  • Business Unit Leads (your internal clients, who need their teams trained)
Outside the business
  • LMS/LXP Vendor Support (when things break or you need help)
  • Content Providers (to get new learning materials loaded)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience administering an LMS (ideally Cornerstone OnDemand or similar enterprise-level platform).
  • Proven experience in troubleshooting technical issues related to learning platforms or other business systems.
  • A solid understanding of data management principles, especially in relation to HR or learning data.
  • Experience in documenting processes and creating user guides.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills – you'll be talking to learners, designers, and IT folks.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

LMS Advanced Configuration & Integrations

You'll move beyond routine administration to understanding how to configure more complex features of Cornerstone OnDemand, like advanced reporting modules, custom fields, and how it connects to other systems. This means less reliance on vendor support for basic integration issues.

Custom Report Building · API Fundamentals · Single Sign-On (SSO) Management

  • This month: Take advantage of any advanced admin training offered by Cornerstone OnDemand.
  • Month 2: Shadow our IT team during an integration troubleshooting session to see how they diagnose data flow issues.
  • Month 3: Propose and build one new custom report in the LMS that addresses a specific business need.

Quick win: Explore the 'Admin' section of Cornerstone OnDemand thoroughly. Click around, see what's there, and read the help documentation for features you haven't used yet.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attend webinars and online courses from our LMS vendor (e.g., Cornerstone OnDemand) to stay up-to-date on new features and best practices.
  • Join online communities or forums for Learning Operations professionals to learn from peers and share insights (e.g., LinkedIn groups, ATD communities).
  • Read industry blogs and publications focused on learning technology and L&D trends (e.g., Fosway Group, Learning Technologies blogs).
  • Take a basic course in data visualisation or business intelligence (e.g., Power BI tutorials) to enhance your reporting skills.
  • Participate in internal L&D team knowledge-sharing sessions and workshops.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Learning Operations Specialist is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a lot of learning operations can feel a bit like Groundhog Day – repetitive tasks, endless data checks, and drafting the same communications over and over. But what if you could offload a significant chunk of that to smart AI tools? We're not talking about replacing your job; we're talking about giving you superpowers.

At Zavmo, we're actively exploring how AI can make our Learning Operations team more efficient, allowing you to focus on the really interesting stuff: improving processes, solving complex problems, and making strategic decisions. Here's a glimpse of how AI could change your day-to-day work:

Automated Learner Pathway Management

Picture this: an AI rules engine, hooked up to our HRIS (Workday HCM), automatically enrolling employees in onboarding, compliance, or role-specific development tracks the moment their job code changes or they get promoted. No more manual cohort management or chasing missed training – it just happens. You'll just need to check it's working.

Thematic Analysis of Learner Feedback

Instead of wading through thousands of open-text comments from course surveys (the 'Kirkpatrick Level 1' stuff), you'll feed them into a Natural Language Processing (NLP) model. It'll instantly identify key themes, sentiment, and recurring issues, giving you actionable insights in minutes, not days. You'll use this to tell our Instructional Designers what's really working, or not.

Intelligent Vendor Discovery

When we need a new tool, you could use an AI assistant to research and create a comparative analysis of learning technology vendors. Just prompt it with specific requirements like, 'Find LXPs that integrate with Workday HCM, support xAPI, and have strong analytics for under £50/user/year.' It'll give you a head start on the market research, saving you hours.

Smart Communications & SOP Drafting

Use a generative AI tool to draft initial versions of those routine communications: system outage alerts, new feature launches, or even user guides. You could also get it to create the first draft of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for a new process you've designed. You'll edit and refine, but the blank page dread is gone.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Learning Operations Specialist, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 25 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Learning Operations Specialist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Other roles in Learning and Development

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here – systems administration, data governance, process improvement, and stakeholder management – are highly transferable. You could easily move into HR Systems roles, IT Operations, or even Project Management roles in other sectors. Learning operations is a fantastic foundation for a broader career in business systems and process excellence.
