About the Role
As a Shift Operations Manager, you’ll play an important part in making sure our operations run smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Leading a team during your shift, you’ll help deliver great service, maintain high standards, and make sure we have the right people and processes in place to meet our operational goals.
You’ll be responsible for coordinating day-to-day activity, supporting colleagues, and keeping things moving when priorities change. From monitoring performance and managing resources to resolving issues and communicating with wider teams, you’ll help create an operation that our customers and colleagues can rely on.
Every shift will bring something different, so you’ll need to be organized, calm under pressure, and confident making decisions. You’ll take pride in creating a positive working environment, helping your team perform at their best, and ensuring that health, safety, and operational standards are always maintained.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re looking for a Shift Operations Manager who enjoys leading people and getting things done. You’ll be confident managing a busy shift, setting clear expectations, and supporting your team to deliver against service, quality, and productivity targets.
Ideally, you’ll have experience in an operations, retail, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, hospitality, or customer-focused environment, with previous responsibility for supervising or managing a team. You’ll be comfortable working with performance data, identifying opportunities to improve, and taking action when standards or targets are not being met.
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll need excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with colleagues across the business. You’ll be practical, resilient, and confident dealing with challenges, while keeping your team informed and motivated throughout the shift.
Experience of workforce planning, stock or resource management, health and safety procedures, and continuous improvement would be useful. Most importantly, you’ll have a ‘can do’ attitude, a hands-on approach, and a genuine interest in helping people and operations succeed.
Helping Every Shift Run Smoothly
Our operations teams are at the heart of delivering a great experience for our customers and colleagues. As a Shift Operations Manager, you’ll help bring people together, coordinate activity, and make sure our standards are maintained from the start of the shift through to handover.
You’ll lead by example, recognize great performance, and provide coaching and support where it’s needed. You’ll also work closely with other departments to share information, resolve issues, and contribute to improvements that make our ways of working more effective.
