Find Where You Belong – Quality Assurance Manager

Are you passionate about creating exceptional customer experiences and building a truly customer-centric culture? Do you thrive on using insight, coaching, technology, and innovation to improve customer outcomes? If so, our Quality Assurance Manager opportunity could be the perfect next step for you.

At Travelodge, we’re on a journey to transform the way we support our customers across both human and AI-powered channels. We are looking for a passionate, experienced, and forward-thinking Quality Assurance Manager to build and lead our quality function, helping us raise standards, improve performance, and create consistently brilliant customer experiences.


Your Purpose

As our Quality Manager, your main purpose is to elevate and scale our quality function within Customer Service. Reporting directly into the Head of Customer Service, you will:

  • Manage a team of two Quality Analysts and take ultimate responsibility for evolving the frameworks, standards, tooling, and coaching approaches shaping how we measure and improve quality across all customer interactions
  • Ensure both our customer service agents and AI chatbot deliver experiences that are empathetic, effective, consistent, and aligned with our customer-first values
  • Successfully combine human insight with AI-driven quality tools and analytics to identify opportunities, improve performance, and support operational leaders in coaching teams toward better customer outcomes

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.
