Graduate Management - Leadership Development
BasePoint | Full-time | London (On-site)
Compensation: £25,000 - £45,000 OTE
About The Role
Your degree gives you knowledge. Your first role should give you experience.
BasePoint's Graduate Management Programme is for graduates who want to build commercial, communication and leadership experience in a hands-on environment, with a clear route towards leading a team.
Rather than stepping straight into a management title, you'll learn how the operation works from the ground up, starting with customer acquisition and campaign delivery before developing into coaching, coordination and team leadership. Team leaders here are accountable for their team's results and for the growth of the people in it, and we believe the best way to prepare for that is to have done the job first.
Stage 1: Learn the Business
Your initial development focuses on the fundamentals, working directly within our field-based campaigns:
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
- Face-to-face customer engagement
- Sales and customer acquisition
- Professional communication
- Brand representation
- Campaign delivery
- Personal performance and goal setting
This gives you practical experience of the operation before you take on responsibility for others.
Stage 2: Develop Into Leadership
Once you've shown consistency in the fundamentals, your development expands into people development and management:
- Mentoring and supporting newer team members
- Coaching and performance development
- Team coordination
- Campaign planning
- Leadership and people management
Graduates who find they're more motivated by commercial performance than by managing people can instead continue developing towards Sales Executive responsibilities.
Progression is based on performance and demonstrated capability, not a guaranteed timeframe.
