At Director and VP level
The role on paper and the role in practice can be very different across different companies. Some want a caretaker for what already exists; the teams we work with want a leader to build the function — the hiring, the structure, the standards. Because we know these teams and their mandates first-hand, we can tell you which conversations are worth your time and what the founders actually expect from the seat.
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 opportunities
Compensation at these companies can reach £310k+ plus equity. You'd be shaping an engineering organisation rather than inheriting one, with enough scope to set the standard across the function whilst also staying close to the tech itself. These are companies where engineering leadership lead the business and shape the direction.
You could work on
- Owning engineering strategy, structure, and standards across multiple teams
- Hiring and growing leaders, and leading through them
- Setting the technical and delivery bar for the whole org
- Working with the exec team on company-level priorities
