This is a fantastic opportunity for a customer-focused FM professional who thrives on building strong relationships, driving operational performance, and delivering exceptional service outcomes. You'll act as the key link between WPS, JLL, and Aviva stakeholders, ensuring services are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.

  • Monitor operational and commercial performance across the account, identifying opportunities for improvement and growth.
  • Manage budgets, forecasts, and financial performance, ensuring value for money and achievement of account targets.
  • Review performance data, KPIs, and service reports, implementing actions to drive continuous improvement.
  • Ensure all health, safety, environmental, and compliance requirements are met across the portfolio.
  • Collaborate with internal operational teams and supply chain partners to ensure seamless service delivery.
  • Support contract retention, service enhancement initiatives, and account development opportunities.
  • Lead regular client meetings, performance reviews, and strategic business planning sessions.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
