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.
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you will be a trusted adviser at Board level, combining sharp intellect, sound judgement and credibility with the ability to navigate complexity, challenge constructively and inspire confidence. Alongside safeguarding ACL's long-term financial resilience, you will play a central role in shaping growth strategy, driving performance and ensuring the highest standards of governance and risk management.
Aviation experience is not essential. We are interested in exceptional leaders who have thrived in regulated, international or stakeholder-rich environments who bring the ambition, commercial acumen and personal presence to make a lasting impact. For a high-calibre finance executive seeking a role of genuine influence, global reach and future potential, this represents an exceptional career opportunity.
