Partner Operations Manager

The Global Merchant Excellence Team

The Merchant Excellence team is responsible for supporting restaurant and retail partners across all markets with key onboarding and lifecycle tasks, acting as their operational support team once they’re live on the platform.

The Team:

  • Manages partner contacts across live and non-live channels globally, with UKIE representing the largest share of demand.
  • Handles admin and technical tasks for SMB, Mid-Market and National partners (e.g. account and menu creation, menu edits, tablet installation and troubleshooting, photography, compliance actions like DAC7, refund disputes, and inbound phone/chat support).
  • Acts as the sole point of contact for self-serve partners after they “graduate” from early-life onboarding, working closely with New Partner Experience and Account Management teams.
  • Operationally, most day-to-day volume is handled by third-party vendors aligned by language and market, with in-house L2 teams owning complex queries, escalations, and performance management across markets.

In This Role You'll Be Involved in These Key Areas:

  • Managing channel, queue, and team leader/agent performance across our in-house teams in Manchester, UK and Milan, Italy.
  • Identifying trends in performance and conducting root cause analysis (e.g. Team Leader/agent productivity) to drive improved performance.
  • Helping define new metrics, targets, and best practices to drive improvements in Merchant experience (e.g. first touch resolution).
  • Presenting market performance updates and strategic implications to executive leadership.
  • Identifying operational efficiencies that can be gained through automation and process improvements.

What You’ll Be Doing

Monitoring and Tracking:

  • Daily/weekly monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) for channels (e.g., chat, email, phone), service queues, team leaders, and individual agents across UKI and EU.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA):

  • Conducting deep dives and methodical investigations to identify the fundamental reasons behind performance trends (e.g., analysing agent productivity, training gaps, system errors, or vendor operational issues).

Trend Identification:

  • Analysing data to spot emerging or recurring patterns in team and channel performance, service demand, and partner feedback.

Developing and Delivering Presentations:

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.

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.

  • Developing and delivering clear, data-driven presentations on current market performance (likely related to partner satisfaction or service delivery) and the strategic impact of those results to executive leadership.

Insight Generation:

  • Translating raw performance data and market trends into actionable insights and strategic recommendations for senior decision-makers.

New Metric Development:

  • Collaborating with stakeholders to research, define, pilot, and implement new service metrics (e.g., specific definitions for "First Touch Resolution" or “Merchant Effort Score") that better reflect merchant experience and business objectives.

Target Setting:

  • Establishing challenging yet realistic performance targets and benchmarks for teams based on data analysis and industry best practices.

Best Practice Documentation:

  • Documenting and disseminating successful processes, operational standards, and agent/team leader best practices across the UKI and EU servicing in-house teams.

Opportunity Identification:

  • Auditing existing workflows and processes to pinpoint areas where operational efficiencies can be achieved (e.g., manual data entry, handoffs between teams).

Automation Scoping:

  • Proposing and evaluating potential automation solutions (e.g., RPA, self-service tools, AI-assisted routing) to reduce manual effort and improve service speed.

Implementation Support:

  • Collaborating with technology and operations teams to pilot, test, and roll out approved process improvements and automation initiatives.

All these activities may extend to other LOBs as well as Partner Operations.

Requirements

  • Has proven experience as an Operations Manager in a fast-moving and dynamic company.
  • Has experience with operational performance management in an in-house set-up.
  • Is detail and action-oriented, with experience of leading performance improvement projects (e.g. root cause analysis / backlog reduction strategies).
  • Is comfortable leading updates and can speak up when working with more senior stakeholders and partners.
  • Is knowledgeable of CRM systems (e.g. Zendesk / Salesforce) and has experience of creating reports across systems.
  • Takes personal accountability for the quality and accuracy of their work.
  • Has a solid analytical background (e.g. Excel pivot tables and INDEX MATCH), SQL skills are highly desirable but not essential.
  • Has a proven track record of managing and developing effective Team Leaders.
