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.

Key Responsibilities

  • 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

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.
