Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Partnerships are bespoke and creatively led, supported by embedded creative strategy. You will initially operate as an individual contributor, with a clear path to building and leading a team as the organisation scales.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Personally originating and closing high-value, global sponsorship partnerships
- Leveraging an established network of direct brand and client-side decision-makers to open doors quickly
- Working closely with creative strategists to shape innovative, executable propositions
- Operating confidently in a founder-stage environment with evolving structure and process
- Playing a key role in shaping the long-term commercial model of the organisation
