About Us
We're a fast-growing utilities consultancy based in Shoreditch, helping businesses reduce costs and make informed purchasing decisions across energy, payment services, telecoms, waste, and water. By partnering with over 50 leading suppliers, we provide tailored solutions that deliver real value to our customers.
As our business continues to grow, we're investing in the next generation of sales talent through our apprenticeship programme. We're moving towards a more consultative approach to selling, focused on understanding customer needs, building long-term relationships and delivering the right solutions rather than simply making sales.
The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for ambitious individuals who enjoy working with people and want to build a long-term career in sales.
We're looking for individuals that are looking to build their customer service skills and learn about sales with career progression potential. No previous sales experience is required. What matters most is your attitude, willingness to learn and ambition to develop a successful career.
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.
