Director of Technology for rapidly growing, multi brand hotel operator
Our client are a high growth, multi brand international hospitality group with over 50 hotels throughout Europe. They have significant private equity backing to expedite their already impressive growth since they were founded 10 years ago.
They view technology as a critical enabler of growth which is why they are appointing a Director of Technology for the first time. This role is the number one technology leader within the organisation, reporting directly to their Managing Director. The role will have a broad remit and significant autonomy to shape the future direction. They are looking for a strategic and commercially minded technology innovator to focus on their vision, architecture and vendor orchestration rather than day to day IT operations. A leader who really cares about the customer experience and can build relationships across the organisation rather than technology sitting in a silo.
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.
