Senior BPO Operations Specialist
As our next Senior BPO Operations Specialist, you'll play a key role in helping us build the UK's go-to home improvement marketplace. Joining us on a 12-month maternity cover contract, you'll be the operational bridge between Checkatrade and key partners, keeping forecasting, reporting, and quality frameworks running exactly as they should. It's a role built on continuity — you'll take the reins on well-established processes and make sure nothing drops while you're at the helm.
Forget long lists, here's what you'll actually spend your time on:
- Acting as the primary operational liaison for our BPO partners, managing a seamless handover at the start and end of the contract and maintaining trust throughout
- Running our established monthly forecasting and invoice reconciliation processes, digging into variance analysis to catch and resolve unexpected cost changes fast
- Keeping our BPO Quality Assurance frameworks and Tableau dashboards ticking over, running QA calibrations and live call listening to monitor compliance and interaction quality
- Building and managing Statements of Work with Procurement to formalise vendor pilots and projects
- Owning and delivering BPO performance presentations in Weekly Business Reviews, bringing data-backed rationale to an executive audience
- Supporting the rollout of new strategic initiatives end-to-end, defining KPIs and spotting trends that drive retention and operational excellence
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Experience managing outsourced BPO partnerships (or eagerness to learn), including SOW creation and navigating vendor transitions
- Strong financial acumen — comfortable with cost forecasting, invoice reconciliation, variance analysis, and scenario modelling
- Confidence working with data visualisation tools like Tableau, and a knack for turning manual processes into something scalable
- Excellent stakeholder communication, with experience (or eagerness to learn) presenting operational data at WBR/MBR/QBR level and navigating sensitive conversations
We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here's just a taste:
- Competitive salary
- Employee Share Programme
- Health, well-being, and learning support
- Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme, and Cycle Scheme
- Birthday/Special day leave
- Buy & sell holiday scheme
- 1 week's paid charity leave and much more!
