About the Role
Oplu is leading the search for an Executive Assistant to the Founder of a growing sustainability-focused investment firm in West London. The firm makes venture capital, angel, and direct investments in sustainability.
This is primarily a 1:1 Founder support role with scope to cover the wider team as the firm grows. The remit spans agenda and diary, preparation and follow-up, administration, marketing support, recruitment coordination, and light personal admin. Roughly 80% business, 20% personal. Not a family PA role.
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.
