Central Government Sector Leader
~£155,000 basic + up to 40% bonus | Farringdon (1-2 days/week)
About Our Client
Our client is a fast-growing, AI-native consultancy that’s doing some really interesting work helping organisations rethink how they operate and transform in the AI era.
The Role
The Central Government Sector Leader will win, own, and grow the firm's entire Central Government consulting services business, effectively running their own business within the organisation.
You'll define the sector strategy, build relationships across government, win consulting work, and establish the firm as a recognised name in the Central Government market.
Around 70% of the role is focused on commercial growth: winning new consulting opportunities, building senior relationships across Central Government, growing existing accounts, developing new clients, shaping new consulting propositions, and representing the firm externally at conferences and government events.
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.
