General Manager – The High Horse
We’re on the lookout for a motivated and passionate General Manager to lead the team at The High Horse.
As part of Dodo Pub Co, we’re known for top-notch burgers, authentic Neapolitan pizzas, and unbeatable vibes. At our core, we’re neighbourhood pubs serving products we’re 100% proud of—delivered by people who are 100% committed to what they do.

We offer a wide selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails—served by knowledgeable and passionate staff to customers who care about quality and community.

We Serve
- Authentic Neapolitan pizzas cooked at 450°C in our pizza oven

🏡 The Role
We’re neighbourhood pubs built around community—and the General Manager sits right at the heart of that.
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.
