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.
You'll play a key role within our Company Secretariat team, supporting the delivery of a professional, high-quality and customer-focused corporate governance service across Executive, Board and Committee governance. You'll work closely with the Group Company Secretary and wider Governance team to ensure governance processes run smoothly, records are maintained accurately, and key corporate governance obligations are met.
We're big on working flexibly, you'll spend most of your time working from home, with occasional visits to the office. But if you prefer to be in the office more, that's good with us too.
