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.

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.

Working closely with senior leaders across the business, including the Executive Leadership Team and Senior Leadership Team, you will design and deliver an effective planning process, creating the governance, tools, timelines and frameworks needed to support informed decision-making. You will synthesise complex information from multiple sources, identify key themes and insights, and communicate them in a clear and accessible way to a range of audiences. You will also help shape strategic conversations by providing decision support, coordinating market and business insights, and ensuring planning activities remain aligned with BMT’s long-term ambitions.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is curious, organised and resilient, with the confidence to build trusted relationships, challenge constructively and bring people together around a shared direction. Whether your background is in strategy, planning, operations, consulting, finance or programme delivery, this role offers the chance to influence BMT’s future and make a visible impact across the business.


About You

We know that great candidates come from a wide range of backgrounds, so we're less interested in a specific career path and more interested in the skills, mindset and potential you can bring to the role. You may have gained your experience through strategy, planning, consulting, transformation, finance, operations, programme delivery or another related field. Whatever your journey, if you're someone who enjoys bringing people together, solving complex challenges and helping organisations move forward, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll be a natural communicator who can take complex information and turn it into clear, practical messages that help others understand what matters most. You'll be comfortable building relationships with senior stakeholders, listening carefully, influencing positively and providing constructive challenge when needed. Strong organisation and planning skills will help you manage competing priorities, keep momentum moving and deliver high-quality outcomes.

We're looking for someone who is curious, thoughtful and eager to learn. You'll enjoy asking questions, connecting ideas and finding clarity in complexity. You'll be collaborative and approachable, building trusted relationships across teams, functions and regions, while remaining adaptable and resilient when priorities shift. You'll also bring a high level of personal accountability, attention to detail and the confidence to work independently while knowing when to involve others.

Experience in business planning, strategy, transformation, market analysis, financial planning or preparing materials for executive audiences would be beneficial, but it isn't essential. Likewise, a degree, professional qualification or analyst background may be helpful, but what matters most is your ability to demonstrate the capability, enthusiasm and potential to succeed and make a positive impact at BMT.


What's Next?

If you’re ready to use your skills to help tackle meaningful challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and join a team that values innovation, inclusion, and long-term impact.

We only accept applications via our ATS. CVs sent directly to HR or operational teams will not be considered. Any unsolicited candidates will be treated as direct applications, with no fees payable.
