Senior Brand Manager | Challenger Food Brand
Up to £70,000 + Bonus + Equity
Looking for the chance to shape the future of a brand that's only just getting started? We're partnering with an ambitious challenger food business that's on a mission to make healthy, nutritious ready meals accessible to everyone. Having recently launched into Tesco with fantastic early success, they're now looking for their first Senior Brand Manager to help drive the next stage of growth.
Backed by a well-established manufacturing business, they have the investment, infrastructure, and ambition to become a major player in the category.
The Role
This is an opportunity to take real ownership of a growing brand. You'll lead the brand strategy across the UK, manage key retailer relationships, and help deliver exciting launches into additional grocery retailers. Working closely with the leadership team, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the brand as it continues to scale.
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.
