Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Music and cultural festivals
- Live music venues and events
- Community and cultural organisations
- Corporate and private events
- Charities and fundraising events
- Universities, colleges and schools
- Other suitable UK and international performance opportunities
May Filmworks Ltd will provide The Chief's professional EPK, promotional materials, performance footage, music and booking resources, together with support on negotiations and contracting where required.
Commission
This is a commission-based opportunity with no basic salary.
For the initial 12-month arrangement, the successful coordinator will receive 25% of the gross artist booking fee on qualifying paid bookings they generate.
The 25% commission will also apply to qualifying repeat bookings from clients introduced by the coordinator during the agreed 12-month protection period.
Commission becomes payable after May Filmworks Ltd receives the corresponding client payment.
The commission structure will be reviewed after the initial 12-month period as The Chief's profile, client base and booking fees develop.

- Interested in music, live events, entertainment or artist development
The opportunity could suit an experienced or emerging music/events professional, freelancer, someone looking to develop an artist-management or booking portfolio, or a retired/semi-retired professional with strong commercial, networking or relationship-building skills.
