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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Additionally, you will:
- Manage purchase orders and proactively follow up late deliveries
- Co-ordinate courier collections, exports and delivery requirements
- Standardise core warehouse processes and SOPs
- Maintain accurate supplier, item and stock data
- Identify causes of recurring operational issues and introduce practical improvements
About You
To be considered as our Operations Manager, you will need:
- Experience running day-to-day operations across warehouse, stock control, and despatch in an SME
- Solid goods-in/goods-out knowledge
- The proven ability to improve stock accuracy (cycle counts, root cause, process discipline)
- To be comfortable owning purchasing admin and supplier chasing to protect service levels

- Confidence using systems and spreadsheets to keep records clean and produce simple reporting
- Excellent people leadership skills
- Strong attention to detail with a practical “get it sorted” mindset
