Are you looking to take the next step in your product career with a business that will genuinely invest in your development?

We're recruiting an Assistant Product Manager to join a market-leading branded business, supporting the development and management of an exciting range of products.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone with around 1–2 years' experience in Product, Category, NPD, Marketing or a commercial/buying support role who is ready to broaden their experience and develop into a Product Manager.

You'll gain exposure to the entire product lifecycle, including:

  • Supporting new product development from concept through to launch
  • Researching market trends, competitors and consumer insights
  • Managing product data, pricing and portfolio analysis
  • Coordinating product samples, testing and supplier communication
  • Supporting packaging, product launches and sales materials
  • Working closely with Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain and Quality teams to deliver successful product launches

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.
