Life on the team
As an Operations Manager, you’ll play a key role in leading the delivery of high-quality onsite and field services across a defined region. You’ll work closely with Team Leaders, service teams, customers and internal stakeholders to make sure our services run smoothly, consistently and to the standards our customers expect.
This is a highly visible leadership role where no two days are the same. You’ll spend time across customer sites, engaging face to face with your teams, supporting operational performance and helping create an environment where people feel informed, supported and able to do their best work.
The role is an onsite role at one of our customers sites. It would suit someone that is located in or around the Derby area.
What you'll do
- Lead the operational delivery of onsite and field services, ensuring services meet agreed SLAs, KPIs and customer expectations.
- Manage, coach and support Team Leaders, helping them develop their leadership capability and deliver strong outcomes through their teams.
- Build trusted relationships with customers, partners and internal stakeholders, acting as a key point of contact for service performance, escalations and improvements.
- Use data, reporting and local insight to identify opportunities to improve service quality, efficiency and customer satisfaction.
- Take ownership of escalations and operational issues, bringing the right people together quickly to resolve challenges and keep stakeholders informed.
- Support change activity across your region, ensuring approved changes are delivered effectively and any risks or impacts are clearly communicated.
- Oversee resource planning, performance management, employee engagement, wellbeing and compliance with internal processes.
- Contribute to a strong management community by sharing knowledge, lessons learned and best practice across teams and services.
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.
