About The Role

As well as our main valuations team we have specialist teams, including:
- Economic Regulation: where we apply economic theory and in-depth experience to offer advice to both regulators and regulated companies on a wide range of issues.
Data and Economics
Our Data and Economics team focuses on applying economic, econometric and statistical analysis in projects with large volumes of data, or where questions of cause-and-effect are important.

The Capital Market Services team provides complex financial instruments trading, valuation and risk management expertise. The team brings financial services and energy industry expertise in quantitative finance.
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.
