Are you an ambitious journalist looking to take the next step in your career? This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, multi-platform business media environment where no two days are the same.
Working closely with the editor and deputy editor as part of a small team you’ll contribute to everything from writing compelling business stories to helping plan and deliver high-profile events. As content editor, you’ll also have the chance to develop your skills as a journalist in a future-facing publication where every member of the team is vital.
Insider runs a busy calendar of business networking events across the North West, and our editors play a central role in shaping them, from selecting speakers and judging awards to leading on-stage interviews. You’ll initially shadow the editor and deputy editor, gradually taking on more responsibility as your confidence and experience grow. We won’t throw you in at the deep end, we give careful thorough training. You’ll be supported with one-to-one training and mentoring to help you thrive.
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.
