Description

Want to build something that actually moves the needle — at Amazon scale? The Last Mile DSP Payments team is looking for a Sr Program Lead who doesn't just want a seat at the table, but wants to roll up their sleeves and rebuild the table itself.

We move more than €1B a year across 9 countries, 2,000+ legal entities, and 37,000+ service rate combinations — today, a lot of that runs on semi-automated workflows, Excel files, and cross-functional muscle memory. That's exactly the opportunity: if you're the kind of person who sees a messy, high-stakes process and immediately starts sketching the fix, this is your playground. You'll be hands-on from day one, with real ownership over how hundreds of Delivery Service Partners get paid across Europe.

This isn't a role for someone who wants a fully paved roadmap. It's for someone who wants to build the road.

Key Job Responsibilities

What You'll Do

  • Own and drive payment process improvement initiatives across EU manual and semi-automated workstreams — fleet, fuel, incentives, and beyond
  • Strengthen and build new financial controls and audit trails — find the gaps before they become problems
  • Build Excel-based tools, models, and dashboards (pivot tables, Power Query, macros, VBA) that replace manual grind with scalable systems
  • Chase down payment discrepancies across EU countries — trace the data, find the root cause, fix it, and make sure it doesn't come back
  • Turn messy operational reality into clean, structured requirements that fuel automation with Last Mile Payments Tech
  • Help shape and execute the DSP payment automation roadmap, working shoulder-to-shoulder with Finance, Tax, Fleet, Pricing, and Tech

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.

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.

A Day in the Life

  • You're an Excel power user — pivot tables, Power Query, and macro/VBA automation are second nature (we'll put this to the test)
  • You bring order to chaos — structured thinking that turns ambiguity into a clear plan, fast
  • You communicate with energy and clarity — across functions, across geographies, up to leadership and down to the front line
  • You learn fast and don't wait to be told twice — complex payment logic, regulatory nuance, and cross-functional dependencies are puzzles you enjoy solving
  • You're up for travel — getting in the room with EU regional ops teams, on-site, is part of how you get things done
  • You thrive under pressure — peak periods with serious financial stakes don't rattle you, they energize you

  • AI skills

  • Experience implementing repeatable processes and driving automation or standardization
