About Nonacus
We’re an employee-owned company based in Birmingham in our 11th year of helping patients find cancer simply, quickly and accurately.
We research, design and manufacture all products from our Quinton HQ, having supplied over 50 million test kits to dozens of NHS sites, every major UK private healthcare group and exporting to 38 countries worldwide.
We’re looking for talented and driven people to help us achieve our vision of everyone on earth having access to simple, fast and accurate non-invasive cancer testing.
Role purpose
You will be the right-hand of the CEO and a trusted sounding board - turning ideas into reality, managing projects and making the most of their time.
Key responsibilities
Turning ideas into structured action
This could mean developing a presentation (like this!), challenging a strategic idea, researching a new investment, mapping a market or improving a process.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
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.
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.
Organisation
Helping organise my time and deal with practical or administrative tasks, including turning ideas for team culture and recognition into action which currently takes a lot of my time.
Operating Cadence
Supporting the leadership team by maintaining a clear record of actions, tracking progress and helping remove blockers. The right person will earn their place in the room, bringing opinions to key leadership topics.
Productivity
Increasing the usage of AI and productivity tools to improve the quality and speed of my outputs.
