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.
The person
You will be an accomplished CEO, Group Managing Director or divisional leader with a strong record of delivering results through the leadership teams of multiple businesses or operating units. Working within businesses between £5m and £30m revenue is the ideal dynamic. This is a hands-on role.
Experience across business services, engineering, infrastructure and real estate, or comparable environments, would be helpful but any B2B environment could work. You will bring commercial breadth, financial discipline and sound judgement on asset management and capital allocation.
Get help with your application

Please apply with your CV and a brief summary of your relevant experience. All applications will be treated in strict confidence.
