Joe Blake's Specialty Coffee and Food
Joe Blake's is a specialty coffee and food establishment with six sites in London. We are looking to expand to twenty or more sites within two and a half years. We need someone to run the estate so that I can focus on building it.
Role Overview
You will be responsible for the overall performance of every site, including sales, labor, margin, standards, compliance, staff, and every new opening. You will also oversee the coffee, including the standard, accreditation, roaster relationship, and drinks margin. Essentially, you will set the bar for the entire operation.
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.
