The Role
We are looking for a highly organised and detail-oriented Assistant to join an international law firm's Marketing & Business Development team in the Birmingham office.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured, process-led work and gains satisfaction from maintaining accuracy and consistency. You will play a vital role in ensuring the firm's client and contact data remains reliable, up-to-date and fit for purpose across global teams and practice areas. This is a hybrid role which requires 3 days a week in office.
This role offers an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to gain experience in a leading international law firm but does not have a law degree or previous legal experience. We are looking for a minimum of 6 months’ administrative and data management skills rather than a legal background.
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.
