Position Purpose
The Recruitment Program Lead is responsible for leading the day-to-day operational delivery of a complex vendor management program supporting a strategic enterprise client. This role serves as a primary operational point of contact for the client and is accountable for service delivery, supplier performance, issue resolution, process discipline, and the successful movement of talent through the program lifecycle.
This position requires a highly credible, client-facing leader who can operate effectively in a demanding, fast-moving environment, balance competing priorities, communicate clearly under pressure, and drive action across suppliers, internal MBO teams, client stakeholders, and other program partners. The Program Office Lead must be equally comfortable managing executive-level client interactions and maintaining detailed operational control of the program.
Key Areas of Responsibility
Client Relationships – Own the day-to-day client experience and program credibility
- Develop and maintain strong professional relationships with client stakeholders across procurement, program leadership, talent, and other functions involved in the program.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for operational questions, escalations, service issues, and program decisions.
- Communicate proactively and confidently with a highly engaged client, including when expectations, timelines, or requested outcomes require clarification or reset.
- Translate client priorities into clear actions for MBO, suppliers, and other program participants, and ensure commitments are tracked through completion.
- Identify risks, blockers, and emerging issues early; develop recommended solutions and escalate appropriately when resolution requires senior leadership involvement.
- Set realistic expectations regarding program capabilities, timelines, dependencies, and costs.
- Lead or support recurring client meetings, pipeline reviews, operational reviews, and issue-resolution discussions.
- Focus on continuous improvement of service delivery and ensure client satisfaction goals are achieved.
Program Operations & Service Excellence – Accountable for disciplined execution
- Own day-to-day program execution across candidate submission, screening, interview coordination, onboarding, staffing readiness, assignment activation, and related lifecycle activities.
- Ensure candidates progress through required program controls and approval gates before advancing to the next stage.
- Coordinate handoffs among suppliers, MBO Client Services, client stakeholders, interview teams, onboarding resources, and other internal or external partners.
- Respond to and resolve operating problems quickly, including stalled candidates, incomplete requirements, scheduling constraints, system issues, and unclear ownership.
- Ensure compliance with client procurement policies, program requirements, documented processes, contractual commitments, and service-level expectations.
- Maintain strong process discipline across program systems, trackers, and workflow tools so that candidate and program status information is current and reliable.
- Monitor data integrity and ensure operational records are complete, consistent, and usable for decision-making.
- Forecast operational workload and resource needs based on program volume, pipeline activity, and client priorities.
- Conduct client and internal training on program processes and operating requirements as needed.
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.

Supplier Management – Drive accountability and performance across the supplier community
- Actively manage relationships with participating staffing and talent suppliers; establish clear expectations for responsiveness, candidate quality, process compliance, and communication.
- Monitor supplier performance against program expectations and applicable SLAs, including submission quality, screening completion, responsiveness, scheduling support, and onboarding follow-through.
- Hold suppliers accountable for corrective actions when service or process expectations are not being met.
- Provide suppliers with clear, timely feedback on candidate outcomes, process changes, documentation requirements, and client expectations.
- Coordinate supplier escalations and resolve issues before they materially affect the client experience or candidate pipeline.
- Identify recurring supplier performance issues and recommend changes to supplier strategy, participation, or operating procedures.
- Conduct supplier training and support continuous improvement of supplier service delivery.
- Partner with program leadership on supplier capacity, coverage, and capability needs.
Risk, Escalation & Issue Management – Protect the integrity of the program

- Coordinate clarification and remediation activities when candidate or supplier reviews identify issues requiring additional information or client determination.
- Use sound judgment to distinguish routine operating issues from risks requiring immediate escalation.
- Document significant decisions, exceptions, unresolved dependencies, and ownership to ensure clear accountability.

- Own or oversee daily and recurring pipeline, onboarding, supplier, and operational reporting required by the client.
- Use program data to identify stalled activity, capacity constraints, supplier issues, process breakdowns, and emerging trends.

- Establish and maintain operating rhythms, action tracking, and follow-up mechanisms across the program.
- Identify opportunities to simplify processes, clarify ownership, improve service levels, and reduce manual or duplicative work.

- Strong operational discipline and attention to detail; able to manage high-volume workflows while maintaining accurate data and follow-through.

Success Profile
The strongest candidate will be more than an administrator or coordinator.
