We are seeking an inspirational General Manager to lead our hotel into its next chapter of success. If you’re a dynamic hotel leader who thrives on action, performance, and people, this is your stage.

About Us

Cardiff Marriott Hotel offers a modern, elevated hotel experience designed for the ambitious, efficient traveller. With spacious, recently refurbished guest rooms and suites, six versatile refurbished event spaces and a focus on streamlined service, we deliver the perfect balance between comfort and productivity.

The Role

As our General Manager, you’re the heartbeat of the hotel. You’ll inspire teams, drive performance, and keep every part of the operation running like clockwork — all while delivering the sharp, seamless Marriott experience our guests love.

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.
