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.
Who are we looking for?
We are particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate:
- Senior-level experience, ideally gained within audit or finance
- Strong understanding of governance, assurance, financial stewardship and organisational risk
- The ability to interpret complex financial and risk information and provide informed, constructive challenge
- Strategic thinking and the ability to look beyond operational issues to long-term organisational resilience and sustainability
- Independence of thought, sound judgement and the confidence to ask insightful questions
- A genuine interest in higher education and commitment to equality and diversity
You do not need to come from the higher education sector. We welcome interest from senior professionals whose experience can bring a valuable external perspective to the Committee.
