- Manage the client’s expectations of sign-off dates and achievability with an understanding of the client’s commercial objectives.
- Take the lead in client calls, ensuring all parties are kept up to date with project progress and status.
- Work with and manage the design and production teams, external suppliers, contractors, and freelancers to ensure that deadlines are achieved and the client brief is met.

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.
