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.
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.
What we’re looking for:
- Senior operations leadership in food or agriculture.
- Experience managing multi-site UK operations, ideally with logistics or mobile fleets.
- Strong P&L management and lean improvement track record.
- Change leadership in high-growth or post-acquisition environments.
- A visible, practical leader who blends strategy with shop-floor presence.
- High emotional intelligence to unite teams and drive cultural alignment.
This is a hybrid role with regular travel across Scotland, Yorkshire, and other UK sites.
