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'll already have
You’ll have experience in a customer-focused role, ideally where you are dealing with key accounts and/or repeat business. You’ll need the confidence to communicate with customers during difficult times, and the tenacity to navigate independently in a role.
- Previous experience within engineering is not required; you’ll be working closely with our talented engineers in this role, and they’ll be able to explain everything you need to communicate with our customers. An interest in engineering is key to success in the role!
- This is a varied role requiring internal networking, so ideally you’ll have experience working in a cross-functional role where you’ve dealt with departments such as Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Marketing and Trade Compliance.
- Ideally, you’ll have had exposure to negotiating contracts, but this is not essential.
At Ontic, we are interested in the person and their potential, so if you do not meet all of the criteria listed above, please do not be deterred from submitting an application.
Benefits
At Ontic we care about your financial, physical and mental wellness, so we offer a range of benefits to support this. We care about what matters to you and have a valued culture of recognition and empowerment, accompanied by benefits that support work/life balance.
