Role Description

We’re looking for a Bid Coordinator to help us create winning proposals that showcase what Airswift does best. In this role, you’ll work with teams across the business to pull together the right information, shape it into clear and engaging documents, and make sure everything is submitted on time. You’ll be involved in every stage of the bid process - from planning and writing to reviewing and improving - and will play a key part in helping us secure new opportunities.

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.
