Job Description:
Your new role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly organised and proactive Corporate Real Estate & Facilities Operations Coordinator to join our UK Real Estate & Physical Security team. Based in London, with occasional UK travel, you'll play a key role in supporting the management of our property portfolio, facilities operations, physical security activities, fleet administration and energy management across multiple UK sites.
Working closely with the Head of Real Estate & Physical Security UK & North Europe, you'll act as a central point of coordination, ensuring critical operational activities, governance processes, reporting and compliance requirements are managed efficiently and accurately.
This role would suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys bringing structure to complex operations, and takes pride in delivering excellent stakeholder support.
Some key responsibilities
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.
