- Managing suppliers, agencies, contractors and all event logistics from planning through to delivery.
- Ensuring events are delivered safely, professionally, on time and within budget.
- Working closely with internal teams and service partners to ensure the smooth delivery of all activities.
- Building relationships with local businesses, community groups and other external stakeholders.
- Acting as a visible ambassador for the destination and providing an excellent experience for occupiers and visitors.
- Managing digital and physical communications across the site.
- Working with external agencies on marketing campaigns and brand activity.
- Monitoring engagement and gathering feedback to understand the occupier and visitor experience.

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.
