Job Description
Strategic Alliances Manager
Why This Role?
We're looking for a commercially driven Strategic Alliances Manager to develop and grow relationships across key technology partners and distribution channels. You'll play a pivotal role in driving joint revenue, accelerating enterprise opportunities and increasing our presence within strategic partner ecosystems. This is an opportunity to influence business growth, build senior stakeholder relationships and represent the organisation across the wider technology market.
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.
