Who they are

Our client is a well-established consumer goods business with a strong presence across UK retail. They combine brand recognition with a practical, relationship-led sales approach, investing in their field teams and giving them the autonomy to succeed. The business continues to grow through a mix of product innovation and strong retail partnerships, making this a solid time to join.

This is a role that gives you real ownership of a well-established territory across the Southeast. You’ll be trusted to run your patch properly, with the autonomy to build strong retail relationships while driving consistent commercial growth.

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.
