Executive Assistant / Administrative Business Partner (ABP)

Position Overview

Role Type: Fixed-Term Contract (Hybrid)
Contract Duration: 17th August 2026 – 16th April 2027
Location: London, UK (3 days on-site / 2 days remote)

We are seeking a high-performing Executive Assistant / Administrative Business Partner (ABP) to join our London team. In this role, you will act as a strategic partner, managing complex calendars, travel, expenses, and site culture initiatives with minimal guidance.

You will bring a deep understanding of business priorities, sound judgment, and high discretion. As a key culture builder and operational cornerstone, you will collaborate across functional teams, establish trust, and serve as a role model within the local and regional ABP community.

Key Responsibilities

Calendar & Time Management

  • Proactively manage and optimize calendars for leadership, teams, and site operations across multiple time zones.
  • Resolve scheduling conflicts, build in prep time, and align time allocations with short- and long-term business goals.

Event & Site Culture Leadership

  • Drive end-to-end delivery of medium-to-large events (e.g., team off-sites, summits, tech talks, site-wide cultural initiatives).
  • Oversee all event logistics: venue booking, equipment, vendor coordination, swag, and budget management.
  • Recommend and lead strategic programs that boost team dynamics, site effectiveness, and local workplace culture.

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.
