The organisation
Our client is a growing UK eLearning provider that creates accessible, bite-sized online training for individuals, employers and partner organisations.
The business develops its own learning technology and content, delivering effective training solutions across a range of sectors. It is now looking for an Operations Manager to strengthen its internal processes and lead a small team.
The opportunity
We are looking for an intelligent, inquisitive and improvement-focused Operations Manager to lead and support a team of approximately six to eight people.
You may already be working as an Operations Manager, or you might be an experienced Team Leader, Project Manager or Operations Executive ready to step into a broader management position.
You do not need to arrive with every answer. What matters is that you ask good questions, quickly understand how things work and identify practical ways to make them better.
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 will help the team work efficiently, maintain high standards and deliver an excellent experience for clients and learners.

- Manage, support and develop a team of approximately six to eight employees.
