Performance Lead Manager

The Performance Lead Manager role is a unique and pivotal position, often mistaken for a traditional Team Manager, but it offers so much more. Sitting at the centre of operations, quality, and capability, this role focuses on driving performance across the contact centre to deliver consistently excellent customer outcomes.

This is not a standard operational leadership role. Instead, it’s about enabling success through real-time support, coaching, and performance insight. You’ll play a key role in ensuring colleagues are confident, capable, and delivering to the highest standard in every customer interaction.

Leading a team of Performance Leads, you will take ownership of key areas, including:

  • Live operational support
  • Capability development
  • Translating performance data into meaningful, actionable improvements across the function

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.
