  • Conduct research on the potential clients to inform and target the bid responses.
  • Ensure all bid documents comply with client specifications, industry standards, and company policies.
  • Review, edit and proof the drafts until the response assures clear, concise, and compelling content that effectively communicates the company's value proposition, capabilities, and project experience.
  • Manage the end-to-end bid process, including timelines, submissions, and internal reviews, ensuring all deadlines are met.
  • Maintain and update a library of bid content, case studies, and standard responses to ensure consistency and efficiency in the bid process.

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.
