About the Company
We are a fast-growing sales and marketing organisation, partnering with some of the UK's leading brands to deliver exceptional customer experiences and innovative marketing campaigns.
Our business is built on developing people. We believe that attitude, ambition, and a willingness to learn are more valuable than previous experience. That's why we invest heavily in training, mentorship, and leadership development, creating genuine opportunities for career progression.
As we continue to expand, we're looking for ambitious graduates who are ready to build a rewarding career in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
About the Role
As a Graduate Business Associate, you'll gain hands-on experience across customer engagement, business development, marketing, and leadership. Working alongside experienced professionals, you'll develop valuable commercial skills while representing leading UK brands and building strong customer relationships.
While this opportunity is designed with graduates in mind, we also welcome applications from individuals who can demonstrate the ambition, drive, and transferable skills to succeed, regardless of whether they hold a degree.
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.
