Join us as a Service Management Team Lead, where you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we deliver exceptional service experiences across O2 Business. In this leadership position, you’ll guide a talented team of Service Managers, empowering them to provide consistent, high-quality, and commercially effective services to our customers.
You’ll lead a dynamic, tiered Service Management function, setting the direction for service excellence across diverse customer portfolios. By aligning delivery with customer needs, contractual commitments, and commercial goals, you’ll ensure we consistently create meaningful value for our clients while strengthening long-term relationships.
This is an opportunity to drive real impact—fostering a culture built on continuous improvement, accountability, and collaboration. Using data-led insights, you’ll champion smarter decision-making and elevate performance, helping your team—and the wider business—thrive.
Working within a collaborative, virtual model, you’ll partner closely with teams across Sales, Technology, and Customer Experience to unlock growth opportunities, enhance service outcomes, and deliver lasting customer success.

Powered by our next‑generation fixed and mobile infrastructure, the new entity will offer a broader portfolio of best‑in‑class solutions – including cloud‑based communication tools, voice and contact centre offerings, and 5G private networks – supported by a culture that prioritises in‑office collaboration, with our teams generally working together on site five days a week.
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.
