Responsibilities
About you:
You're someone who enjoys understanding how things work and finding better ways to do them. You combine analytical thinking with strong communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues. You're naturally curious, ask thoughtful questions, and enjoy turning complex problems into practical solutions.
You understand that successful digital products are built through collaboration and can confidently engage with stakeholders at all levels to understand their needs, challenge assumptions where appropriate, and help shape effective outcomes.
You may already be an experienced Business Analyst, or you may have developed strong analysis, process improvement, or requirements gathering skills in a related role. Most importantly, you're passionate about improving services and helping teams deliver meaningful change.
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.
