Why Greencore?

Following the combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, Greencore is one of the UK’s leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make every day taste better.

As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we’re proud to employ over 28,000 talented colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US.

Together, we bring delicious food to life. Our products cover every meal occasion from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between. In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn.

Our extensive direct-to-store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food—our own and from trusted partners—to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.

What You’ll Be Doing

In this busy and exciting role, you will partner with financial and operational teams to deliver high-quality insight that drives performance, supports decision-making, and enhances profitability. You will:

  • Analyse data
  • Review trends
  • Provide clear recommendations to strengthen financial control and operational delivery

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.
