Your mission

The Role

Working as part of our highly skilled consultancy team, you will deliver complex client projects that drive real business outcomes. This can include transformation programmes, technology modernisation and optimisation, and ways of working overhauls, alongside internal projects that strengthen our own capabilities.

This is a diverse, fast-paced role that calls for broad technical knowledge, strong problem-solving, and the ability to pick up new skills quickly.

Responsibilities and Duties

Consulting Delivery

  • Delivers billable consulting services focused on client outcomes.
  • Establishes client requirements and sees them through from implementation to outcome realisation, contributing across the full project life cycle.
  • Applies technical knowledge to solve challenging problems, building functional and solution-design skills through hands-on implementation.
  • Contributes to internal activities that improve our processes, and undertakes research and experimentation into emerging technologies.
  • As knowledge grows, supports pre-sales opportunities – such as delivering demos – to help win new business.

Communication and Client Relationships

  • Demonstrates strong communication skills, both written and verbal, to ensure delivery excellence on client projects.
  • Asks the right questions to understand what a client needs, and builds rapport with clients and colleagues.
  • Develops client-relationship and expectation-management skills by working independently with clients.
  • Communicates effectively with colleagues internally.
  • Maintains a clear understanding of the business objectives behind the projects and programmes they are assigned to.
  • Demonstrates influence towards positive outcomes, both internally and with clients.

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.
