🚨 Interim Demand Planning Manager – Food Manufacturing – Immediate Start

We're looking for an experienced Interim Demand Planning Manager to support a food manufacturing business through a busy period of change.

The situation:

The permanent Demand Planning Manager needs to step back from day-to-day duties to focus on a business-wide SAP implementation. We need an experienced interim to seamlessly pick up the reins and keep demand planning running smoothly while that happens β€” with volumes also set to increase significantly in the near term.

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 β€” 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 β€” that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
