Position Overview

RDT is looking for an experienced Senior IT Service Operations Analyst to strengthen the day-to-day operation of our frontline Service function. This hands-on role combines meaningful first- and second-line technical support with queue control, incident coordination, customer communication, and delegated duty leadership.

You will bring calm judgement to live operational work, keep incidents and requests moving, and help raise quality, ownership, and autonomy across the Service Operations team. The role has no initial direct reports but carries operational authority when rostered or assigned as duty lead.

Key Responsibilities

  • Coordinate the Service Operations queue, allocating and reprioritising work by impact, urgency, skills, and capacity.
  • Lead the initial operational response to material incidents, confirming ownership, actions, escalation routes, and communication cadence.
  • Maintain a clear operational view of open incidents, requests, ageing items, blockers, and customer impact.
  • Provide hands-on first- and second-line support across RDT internal and managed-service environments.
  • Produce accurate, timely Service updates in clear business language for customers and stakeholders.
  • Retain ownership through escalation, communication, validation, and closure, avoiding unnecessary hand-offs.
  • Review ticket quality and coach less-experienced colleagues on triage, evidence, communication, and escalation.
  • Contribute to Problem Management, Post-Incident Reviews, knowledge, runbooks, workflow improvements, and automation.
  • Support customer mobilisation, service transition, and early-life support.
  • Use approved AI and productivity tools appropriately, validating all assisted output before use.

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.
