About OPERATORS Collective
OPERATORS Collective is a board, advisory, and investment collective of executives, entrepreneurs, and experts in maritime, ocean, energy, supply chain, and critical infrastructure. We bring operators, board members, and investors together to work directly with founders on commercial strategy, product validation, capital planning, and go-to-market execution.
The role
We're building board and advisory capacity in the region. This is not one fixed position. We're taking applications on a rolling basis and matching qualified operators to board and advisory opportunities as they open, now and in the coming months.
Who we're looking for
We qualify operators against six criteria and ask for a minimum of two:
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.
