Head of Events | London | Up to £65,000 plus bonus.

An established London restaurant group is building out its external events and catering business and is hiring a Head of Events to lead it. Three sites across central and east London, a strong following for the food, and demand beyond the restaurants that has outgrown what they can currently deliver. The events arm is now being set up properly with its own leadership, and this is the first senior appointment into it.

The role

  • Build external events and catering revenue from a standing start
  • Pitch for partnerships with venues, corporates and agencies
  • Convert your existing catering network into contracted business
  • Own pricing and margin across the events book
  • Plan menus and production with the chef team
  • Report directly to the founder

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.
