The London Business Forum requires a bubbly, bright, articulate and supremely well organised Events Executive to join our small but beautiful team. We run fun business events (yes, really).
You must have outstanding communication skills and love organising stuff. You should have an obsession with detail, love ticking things off to do lists, enjoy making new friends and have a great sense of humour. You’ll also enjoy writing, have an eye for graphic design and a strong interest in social media. You'll be working in a small and informal environment. You’ll be a team player who wants to learn and take responsibility quickly.
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.

Experience fit

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.
