About the Role

On behalf of our client, we are looking to appoint an experienced Head of Aftersales to take ownership of their Customer Service, Returns and Parts operations.

This is a key leadership position within an established and growing UK-based consumer products business. The successful candidate will have genuine autonomy to review how the aftersales function operates, introduce improvements, develop the team and drive measurable improvements in customer experience and operational performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take overall ownership of Customer Service, Returns and Parts.
  • Lead, coach and develop the aftersales team.
  • Review and improve existing processes, systems and ways of working.
  • Establish clear KPIs and performance measures, driving accountability and continuous improvement.
  • Improve response times, resolution rates, returns handling and customer satisfaction.
  • Manage relationships with external system providers, couriers and online selling platforms.
  • Analyse customer feedback, complaints, returns and operational data to identify trends and opportunities.
  • Develop a solutions-focused culture, encouraging the team to find answers rather than simply identify problems.
  • Provide regular performance reporting and recommendations to senior management.
  • Lead projects designed to improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance customer experience.
  • Work closely with other departments to improve communication and service delivery.
  • Oversee recruitment, onboarding, training, performance management and development.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce errors and continually improve the customer journey.

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.
