Role
The agency is growing its senior team and would love to hear from experienced PR consultants interested in a new challenge. There are two, sector-specific, roles available:
- The first is for someone with experience in corporate comms and ideally public affairs work, in the energy, utilities and industrials sectors.
- The second is to help grow the food and drink practice, building on existing relationships with some major brands in the sector. The team is keen to meet people with corporate comms experience working with clients in the food, drink and FMCG sectors, as well as a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape in which they operate.
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.
