OPERATIONS MANAGER – GROWING RESTAURANT GROUP
£60,000 + BONUS + MILEAGE + BENEFITS
SOUTH WEST / SOUTH WALES
I am working with a brilliant, growing restaurant business looking for an Operations Manager to join the team as they continue to develop and expand.
They are looking for a proper people-led operator – someone who loves developing GMs, building strong management teams and creating real accountability across their sites.
You will be hands-on and comfortable getting stuck into the operation when needed, but equally able to step back, look strategically at the business and help put the right foundations in place for future growth.
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.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
There is already some great infrastructure in place across training, development and technology, but still loads of opportunity to influence how the business operates as it grows.
This would really suit someone who enjoys being close to the restaurants and their people but wants the opportunity to help shape a growing business and build something for the longer term.
