- Build strong working relationships across the team to support collaborative problem-solving
- Encourage a "one team" mindset that strengthens shared ownership of outcomes
- Facilitate effective handovers and ensure priorities are clearly understood

- Apply and uphold clear processes, behaviours, and expectations across the team
- Identify operational variances or process gaps early and address them proactively
- Organise or support QA activity and ensure operational documentation is kept up to date
- Use end-to-end knowledge of operations to identify root causes of issues, to allow for proactive ‘feedback loop.'
- Drive continuous improvement by identifying inefficiencies and suggesting solutions
- Ensure important information is shared clearly and promptly across the team
- Translate operational priorities into clear, actionable instructions
- Escalate issues to the CX Manager early where necessary
- Identify skills, strengths, and development opportunities within the team
- Provide day-to-day coaching, feedback, and mentoring to build capability
- Allocate resources smartly based on changing priorities and demand levels
- Balance workloads across the team to maintain fairness and efficiency
- Reduce the need for emergency cover by forecasting needs early
- Use data (e.g., workload volumes, queues, SLAs, ageing) to guide decision-making
- Provide the CX Manager with visibility of pressure points and emerging issues
- Offer practical recommendations based on daily operational experience
- Contribute to planning sessions, process reviews, and improvement initiatives
- Support development of KPIs, dashboards, and performance insights
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.
