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.
The Role & Requirements
This is a hands-on, admin-first leadership role, you'll take ownership of the accuracy and standards of the commercial back office, making sure the Sales Administration and Telesales teams get things done correctly and on time. That means owning the admin KPIs: Excel files completed accurately, every order input correctly from all its different sources (email, phone, WhatsApp), and order confirmations input right, every time. You'll lead, organise and develop the team day to day, check and quality-control their work, and roll your sleeves up to cover the desk yourself when the team's on annual leave.
