About the Role

At Myriad, we're looking for ambitious individuals who want to understand how a successful sales and marketing business operates from the ground up.

Our Trainee Operations Manager Programme is designed to give you hands-on experience across sales, customer acquisition, team development and business operations before progressing into greater management responsibility.

You don't need previous management experience. We're looking for people with the ambition, work ethic and potential to become future leaders.

About Myriad

Myriad is a growing sales and marketing company based in Chelmsford, Essex, partnering with nationally recognised brands across a variety of industries.

We specialise in customer acquisition and brand growth, helping our clients expand their reach, connect with new customers and increase their market presence through high-performing face-to-face sales and marketing campaigns.

Our success is built around our people. We invest heavily in training, one-to-one mentoring and professional development, creating clear opportunities for ambitious individuals to grow within the organisation.

What You'll Be Doing

Great operations managers understand every part of the business they lead. That's why your development starts with learning the foundations.

Initially, you'll gain practical experience in:

  • Sales, marketing and customer acquisition
  • Representing nationally recognised brands
  • Customer relationship management
  • Communication, negotiation and consumer psychology
  • Understanding client objectives and campaign performance
  • Working towards individual and team targets
  • Business development and commercial awareness

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.
