Head of Operations - Home Based/London/Hybrid/Flexible
This is a genuinely exciting one. Our client is a young, fast-growing luxury travel DMC creating bespoke, beautifully curated trips. Every single piece of business they've won to date has come through recommendation and referral.
We're looking for someone with a background in operations either as a Operations Manager or Head of Operations within luxury travel, a DMC or tour operator. A DMC background would be a real bonus, but strong tour operating experience is just as welcome. You'll need to be highly organised with genuinely exceptional attention to detail, comfortable juggling multiple projects at once, and confident building or improving processes from scratch.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Being a small, close-knit team, they're flexible on working patterns and days, though this is ultimately a full-time role. It's home-based unless you're within commutable distance of their London office, where the team gets together three days a week.
Responsibilities
- Own trip confirmations end-to-end, coordinating amendments and cancellations across hotels, guides, chauffeurs and other suppliers
- Build and standardise operating procedures, checklists and handover documentation
- Quality-check bookings, setting the bar for accuracy and tone
- Manage supplier relationships, keeping communication warm and prompt
- Partner with the founders on day-to-day operations as the team grows

- Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
