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
- Own business operations including budgeting, P&L management, cash flow forecasting, and margin tracking to ensure sustainable growth and project health.
- Standardize and map delivery processes visually to eliminate operational silos, moving internal communications out of private messages and into searchable, public systems.
- Oversee the AI-native delivery layer, working with engineering teams to ensure AI agents are effectively integrated into resourcing models and capacity dashboards.
The ideal candidate
- Proven experience as a COO, Chief of Staff, or Head of Ops at a high-growth startup or studio with fewer than 100 employees.
- Strong financial literacy with direct experience managing P&L, forecasting, and HR functions like recruitment and performance management.
- A process-obsessed mindset with advanced skills in visual mapping (e.g., Miro) and building data-driven dashboards to track utilization and project velocity.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
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.
