Business Manager

Liverpool - on site
£32,500 - £37,500 + bonus

Focus 5 Recruitment are working with a fast-growing, premium customer-focused business to recruit an experienced Business Manager to take overall responsibility for the day-to-day running and commercial performance of one of their sites.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who is used to running a business, unit or customer-facing operation as if it were their own. You’ll be responsible for the people, performance, customer experience and commercial results of the site, working closely with senior stakeholders and a wider Head Office team.

This role would suit someone with experience as a General Manager, Business Manager, Operations Manager, Practice Manager, Site Manager or similar, particularly someone who has had genuine responsibility for revenue, sales performance, KPIs, budgets and P&L.

This is not simply an operational management role.

We’re looking for someone commercially driven who is comfortable being accountable for the numbers. You’ll own site revenue targets, sales KPIs, conversion performance, capacity utilisation, operating spend and overall business performance.

You’ll lead a multi-disciplinary team, ensure the operation runs efficiently and create a consistently high-quality customer experience.

The Role

As Business Manager, you will be the key point of accountability for the day-to-day running of the site.

You will be responsible for:

  • The overall commercial performance of the business
  • Revenue targets and sales performance
  • P&L and operating efficiency
  • Sales conversion and customer journey performance
  • Diary, capacity and resource utilisation
  • Team leadership and performance
  • Customer experience and site presentation

Key Responsibilities

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.

We’re particularly interested in people who have:

This role is live now with a key client. For immediate consideration and full details, please apply ASAP.

If you’re an experienced Business Manager or General Manager who is ready to take real ownership of a business and its performance, we’d love to chat with you.
