The opportunity

Our client, a leading global business operating across Europe and Asia-Pacific, is looking for an exceptional strategist to join the President as Chief of Staff.

This is a rare opportunity for a consultant, or a former consultant, to move from advising to deciding. You will work side by side with the President at the centre of a complex, multi-country business, with real influence on strategy, performance and the decisions that shape its future.

What you will do

  • Partner with the President to shape the business strategy, priorities and annual and multi-year plans
  • Lead critical cross-functional and global initiatives on behalf of the President, including large-scale AI and customer transformation programmes
  • Bring structure, challenge and insight to strategic decisions and business performance, and ensure that decisions translate into measurable results
  • Lead the preparation of Board and Executive Committee meetings, and shape key messages for internal and external audiences, including B2B partners and public bodies
  • Run the leadership team's governance and operating rhythm, ensuring focus and accountability across regional and functional leaders
  • Lead the President's office, including the executive support team

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.
