We’re looking for fellow pioneers of ethical beauty who are keen to drive our business in the UK and around the world. If that sounds like you, we’d love you to join us as we embark on our next chapter.

Your role in a nutshell

This role is split between our London and Brighton offices, with two days per week worked on-site at either location and three days worked from home.
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.
