This role will manage both ocean and air freight shipments, support customers throughout the shipment lifecycle, and work closely with Product and Sales colleagues to deliver reliable and commercially sound logistics solutions.

The position is particularly suitable for an operation professional who enjoys customer interaction and team collaboration and who would like to develop progressively towards a broader Operations + Sales Support role.

  • Liaise proactively with airlines, shipping lines, co-loaders, hauliers, customs brokers, warehouses, overseas offices and other service providers.
  • Provide timely and accurate shipment updates to customers and respond promptly to operational enquiries and exceptions.
  • Maintain accurate operational records, shipment files, costs and supporting documentation in accordance with company procedures.
  • Support timely job costing, supplier invoice checking and billing readiness in cooperation with Finance and relevant colleagues.
  • Support Sales and Product colleagues with operational input for customer inquiries, quotations and new business opportunities.
  • Assist with onboarding new customers and new trade lanes, including shipment requirements, SOP development and operational handover.

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.
