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.
What You Will Do
- Lead full-cycle recruiting to source and hire exceptional research engineers from top-tier institutions and frontier technology companies to scale the technical team.
- Manage end-to-end company operations, including achieving SOC 2 compliance and building robust systems in Notion and Airtable to ensure seamless, high-standard execution.
- Drive product readiness for the upcoming alpha launch by conducting rigorous testing and managing strategic go-to-market relationships with other startup founders.
The ideal candidate
- Holds 5+ years of experience, including significant time at a top-tier strategy consultancy like McKinsey, BCG, or Bain for exceptional analytical rigor.
- Demonstrates a proven track record of startup execution, either as a venture-backed founder or a high-impact Chief of Staff at an early-stage company.
- Exhibits technical literacy and extreme proficiency with modern productivity tools, capable of building complex operational systems with zero supervision and high attention to detail.

We never post fake jobs

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
