Already working in Asset Finance and looking for an opportunity to become more commercially involved?
We're working with a well-established UK specialist lender that's looking to strengthen its SME Sales team with the appointment of a Business Development Associate.
This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in Asset Finance, broker support or internal sales who enjoys building relationships, getting deals over the line and wants to develop their career within the industry.
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.
