About the role
Braehead Foods is investing heavily in the future of its Production Kitchen business.
Our premium chef made products are supporting some of the UK’s leading hotels, stadia, airport lounges and hospitality groups to reduce labour, improve consistency and deliver a quality customer experience.

This role is focussed on opening doors, building relationships with key decision makers and converting opportunities into long term profitable business.
It is not an account management role. We are looking for a hunter!

- Love meeting new people
- Are motivated by winning new business
- Can handle rejection without losing motivation
- Are competitive by nature
- Take ownership
- Are driven by achieving results
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment.
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.
If you’re the type of salesperson who would rather spend your day winning new business rather than managing existing accounts, we want to hear from you!
