We're looking for a commercially driven salesperson who thrives on winning new business.

Reasons to use Rodeo

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.

You'll also work closely with editorial, marketing and production teams to develop tailored commercial proposals and deliver successful campaigns.
