Come and help shape the future of food at HECK!
At HECK!, we're on a mission to make food that makes real life taste better. Since 2013, we've been shaking up the sausage aisle and beyond with food that's nutritious, delicious and made with a bit of personality. We're family-owned, proudly independent and never afraid to do things differently.
We're looking for a Head of Product Management to lead our product portfolio and help take HECK! to the next level.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to stay behind a desk. One minute you'll be spotting the next big consumer trend, the next you'll be in the factory running trials, working with machinery, suppliers and the team to bring ideas to life. You'll own our product roadmap from concept through to launch and beyond, making sure every product we create delivers for shoppers, customers and the business.
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.
