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.

With full responsibility for event performance, you will oversee budgets, sponsorship revenue, commercial partnerships, programme development, delegate engagement, and operational delivery. The role requires someone equally comfortable developing strategic concepts, securing stakeholder buy-in, managing complex logistics, and ensuring a strong return on investment.
Ideally the successful candidate will bring a proven track record in end-to-end event management, including ownership of P&L, sponsorship development, and large-scale stakeholder engagement.
