Commercial Lead — Partner Track
The Boot and Blade earned skaters' trust the hard way — proper fittings, honest advice, kit that's right for the skater, not the stockroom. Skater-first, never sales-first. That's the hard part, and it's done.
Now we build the rest. The brand is loved; what it needs is someone to own the commercial engine underneath it and turn a loyal audience into a business that thrives. This is a partner-track role for the person who does exactly that.
What you'll own
- The commercial engine — merchandising, pricing, promotion, ecommerce growth. The calls on what we stock, what we push, and how the brand's reach becomes revenue. You own the number.
- Camps and events, end-to-end — starting with our next camp. The commercial and logistics side, run in the room, without the wheels coming off.
- Trade relationships — suppliers, brands, and event partners. (Customer relationships stay in-house — the fittings and the advice are the craft the brand is built on.)
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
You won't start from scratch. The execution layer — systems, models, copy, reporting — is already handled by the tooling we run. Your job is the judgment on top: what to bet on, what to charge, what to build next.
Who you are
- Real commercial instinct — retail, ecommerce, or events — with a track record to show it. You know which moves to make and why.
- A self-starter who thrives in early-stage chaos. No manager, no playbook — you see what needs doing and drive it. This matters more than anything else on the list.
- Hands-on and scrappy. As comfortable in the graft as the strategy.
- You don't have to skate — but you have to care about getting it right for those who do, and you want ownership, not just a wage.
