If you’re in Category and frustrated that your role has become more about reporting than influencing, this could be worth a look.

We’re working on a Pet Food opportunity that offers something quite different from the standard FMCG category role.

This is a chance to step into a highly visible position where you can genuinely shape the direction of both the role and the wider function around you.

  • You’d be working closely with a major retail customer, but with far more ownership and commercial exposure than most traditional category positions offer.
  • The role sits right in the middle of category, sales and brand, giving you the opportunity to influence strategy, support innovation, lead customer conversations and help drive long-term growth plans.

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.

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.

It’s the kind of role where somebody commercially curious and proactive can make a really noticeable impact. There’s plenty of scope to bring new ideas, challenge thinking and build stronger ways of working across teams. Longer term, there’s also real opportunity for the role to broaden into wider leadership responsibility as the function continues to develop.

The environment will suit somebody who enjoys autonomy, likes being close to the customer and is comfortable operating without layers of process slowing things down. You’ll have visibility across the wider business, exposure to senior stakeholders and the chance to become a key voice within an important and growing category.

  • FMCG experience across Category, Customer Marketing or Insights is important, but beyond that, attitude and commercial mindset will carry a lot of weight.
