Operations Lead | Operations & Special Projects
London | Hybrid | Scale Up | circa £55k - £70k depending on experience
I'm exclusively partnering with an ambitious founder-led real estate business to recruit an exceptional Operations Lead to work directly alongside the founder on a wide range of strategic and operational initiatives.
This is a rare opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced entrepreneurial environments and enjoys solving problems across every aspect of a growing business.
Rather than managing a single department, you'll become the founder's right hand—identifying opportunities, improving systems, evaluating new ventures and ensuring high-impact projects are delivered.
If you're looking for a role with genuine variety, ownership and exposure to senior decision-making, this is one of the most exciting opportunities currently on the market.
The Opportunity
No two days will look the same. You could be reviewing the commercial viability of a new business idea, implementing AI-powered workflows, redesigning operational processes, coordinating suppliers on a live project or building dashboards that improve decision making.
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.
You'll have significant autonomy from day one and the opportunity to shape how the business operates as it continues to grow.
This role would suit someone who enjoys building businesses rather than simply maintaining them.
Responsibilities
- Lead cross-functional operational projects from idea through to execution
- Improve business processes, systems and operational efficiency
- Evaluate new commercial opportunities and support investment decisions
- Work closely with finance on modelling and commercial analysis
- Research and implement technology, automation and AI solutions
- Coordinate suppliers, contractors and third-party partners
- Support the delivery of strategic initiatives across multiple business functions
- Build reporting and operational dashboards
- Identify opportunities to improve scalability across the business
- Act as a trusted partner to the founder, ensuring key priorities move forward
About You
We're looking for someone who combines commercial thinking with practical execution.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll be naturally curious, highly organised and able to move comfortably between strategic conversations and hands-on delivery.
You'll likely have experience in one or more of the following:
- Operations
- Business Improvement
- Chief of Staff
- Consulting
- Project Management
- Commercial Operations
- Start-up or Scale-up environments
However, mindset is far more important than background.
You'll stand out if you:
- Love solving problems
- Think logically and independently
- Can work with minimal supervision
- Enjoy improving systems and processes
- Are commercially minded
- Embrace technology and AI
- Are comfortable working across multiple disciplines
- Like taking ownership rather than waiting for direction
What's on Offer
- Work directly alongside an ambitious founder
- Genuine ownership from day one
- Broad exposure across strategy, operations and commercial projects
- Opportunity to influence how a growing business evolves
- Significant career progression as the company scales
- Fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where good ideas are implemented quickly
