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.

Who are we?
As a totally independent body, not part of the pensions industry or government, we investigate and make decisions when someone has been unable to resolve a complaint about how their pension has been managed. Our service is free, but we have legal powers to make decisions that are final, binding, and enforceable in court.
Our work can be challenging and high-profile, delivering a fair outcome for the individual and highlighting where the pensions industry can improve. Focusing on the facts, we must be balanced, fair and totally independent.

This role works with a number of key stakeholders across the organisation.
TPO’s Corporate Services teams provide support to the organisation on all business, communications and engagement matters.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide day to day operational support for Dynamics 365 and related Power Platform applications.
- Conduct user and security administration, configuration updates, and routine maintenance within the platform.
- Monitor system performance, triage faults, and resolve issues efficiently, escalating where required.
- Ensure adherence to security, data protection and governance policies.
- Log, assess, and prioritise incidents, ensuring users receive timely and effective support.
- Investigate recurring issues and contribute to problem resolutions, identifying preventative actions.
