An Exciting Opportunity
Rick Stein Restaurants continues to grow and evolve, and we’re looking for a highly organised and commercially minded Commercial Coordinator to support our operational and leadership teams in driving performance across the business.
This is a key role at the heart of our commercial function, helping to turn data into insight, supporting financial planning, and ensuring our restaurants are set up for success through accurate reporting, forecasting, and coordination of commercial initiatives.
If you’re analytical, detail-driven, thrive in a fast-paced hospitality environment, and enjoy working collaboratively across departments, this could be the perfect next step for you.
As Commercial Coordinator, you’ll work closely with Operations, Finance, Marketing, and site leaders to support budgeting, sales analysis, reporting, promotions, and performance tracking—helping ensure commercial decisions are well informed and effectively delivered.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Build and maintain the supplier contract register, ensuring governance and planning ahead for an agreed rolling cycle of activity that delivers commercial benefit
- Proactively manage centrally procured product, coordinating demand with input from the data analysis team, and evaluating the impact of proposed changes to prepare recommendations for the Commercial Manager
- Manage the movement of stock for outsourced online fulfilment contracts
- Liaise with suppliers and outsourced providers over invoice and contract queries in line with agreed KPIs and SLAs set by HOT/Contacts
- Prepare briefs for new products to support the Commercial Manager and Operations, identifying potential solutions for review and approval
- Work closely with the data analyst to ensure data consistency, providing clear briefs and expectations to suppliers to enhance data quality
- Place ad-hoc purchase orders as appropriate
- Maintain a business change register alongside the Commercial Manager & IT Coordinator, logging change requirements, priorities, timescales, and coordinating stakeholder meetings
- Identify efficiencies through automation, AI, improved structure, and governance
- Prepare project briefs for business change initiatives, attend project meetings with the Commercial Manager, and keep risk registers and progress logs up to date
- Assist the Commercial Manager with any ad-hoc duties as required
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.
