Senior Operations Leader | FTC with Permanent Opportunity | UK
I'm working exclusively with a market-leading organisation that delivers complex operational services and transformation programmes for some of the UK's largest and most recognisable businesses.
As they continue to grow, they're looking to appoint a Senior Operations Leader to take ownership of several strategic client portfolios and lead operational transformation at scale.
This is a genuinely broad leadership role. You'll have accountability for operational performance, commercial delivery, client relationships and customer outcomes, whilst leading a workforce of over 2,000 colleagues across the UK and offshore. You'll work closely with the executive team to drive transformation, improve service performance and ensure clients receive exceptional 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.
