What You'll Do

We're looking for an organised, commercially minded and relationship-focused individual to help drive the operational performance of our retail property portfolio.

As Commercial Property Operations Manager, you'll be responsible for coordinating the day-to-day management of GTR's commercial property portfolio, acting as the key link between tenants, station teams, facilities management and commercial colleagues.
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.
