About Us
Smith & Brock is a proudly family-run fresh produce and fine foods business, supplying London's best hotels, restaurants, and caterers. We believe in quality without compromise, honest sourcing, and looking after our people. Every role here is part of something bigger, getting exceptional food from growers to tables, and doing it with care.
The Role
We're looking for a highly organised and proactive Operations Executive to join our night team. This is a critical overnight role at the heart of our operation, you'll own the coordination of night-time run management, invoicing, shortage handling, driver assignments, and reporting, ensuring everything is in order before the day team arrives. If you thrive working independently, take pride in accuracy, and want a role where your contribution is felt every single morning, we'd love to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
