Milton Keynes (3 days on site)
VIQU have partnered with a well-established SaaS organisation going through an exciting phase of growth. Due to this growth, they are hiring an Application Support Lead to help lead their 2nd and 3rd line support teams. This is a player manager role where you're expected to still be hands-on with 3rd line supporting using SQL, and de bugging C# whilst leading and mentoring 5 support professionals. This role would suit an individual who is strong technically, with some people leadership experience.
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.
