About the Role

Key Responsibilities

  • Working closely with the Faculty Manager and Faculty Executive Team, you will play a key role in supporting the School's strategic planning, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement activities.
  • You will coordinate the annual planning cycle, monitor key performance indicators, support major strategic projects, undertake analysis and benchmarking activities, and provide high-quality reports and recommendations to inform decision-making.

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.
