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.
And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the ability to call out any concerns.
What You Will Need
- Proven experience designing and launching loyalty, rewards or membership programmes from the ground up within customer-centric sectors such as retail, travel, financial services, telecommunications or hospitality.
- Strong expertise in behavioural design, customer engagement and loyalty economics, with the ability to translate customer needs into commercially successful programme strategies.
- Experience developing reward and partner ecosystem strategies, including the creation of compelling value propositions and commercial partnership models.
- Solid understanding of customer data, CRM, personalisation and segmentation approaches, and how these capabilities enable modern loyalty programmes.
- Experience evaluating loyalty, CRM and MarTech platforms, with the ability to assess capability requirements and provide clear technology recommendations.
- Strong strategic thinking and systems design capability, bringing together product, technology, marketing and data into a coherent customer engagement model.
- Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build alignment and drive outcomes across a complex, matrixed organisation.

Important Footnote
Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Good luck!
