Operations Director
I’m recruiting an Operations Director for an established food business with a substantial primary processing operation in North Lincolnshire.
About the Role
Reporting to the Managing Director, you will lead a site employing around 300 people. The business has already invested significantly in the operation, with a further phase of infrastructure investment planned. You will help turn that investment into sustained improvements in safety, quality, service, and operational performance.
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.
