We are a small startup based in Manchester, building something with real purpose in education. As we grow, this is a chance to join early, make a genuine impact and grow with the team. You can find out more about us at www.runningpaper.co.uk.
We are looking for a Customer Success Associate to be the main point of contact for the schools that use Running Paper.

It is a people-focused role for someone who is a clear communicator and genuinely good with people.
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.
