We’re a new non-profit – a small company but with huge aims. Working with the major charities, banks, telcos and broadcasters we are seeking to create a digital society in the UK which works for everyone.
We need someone to join the team who really understands politics. Someone who can build relationships with MPs and Peers, with local government leaders, who can find advocates, anticipate political opportunities and bear traps, and help us make our arguments brilliantly.
We don’t need someone to tell us what happened yesterday. We need someone to tell us what’s coming, and what we should do about it. Most importantly we want judgement, political nous, intellectual curiosity and the confidence to represent us brilliantly.
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 might be a rising public affairs professional looking for much more responsibility. Or you might have decades of experience and want to give us two or three days a week. Either works.
From October ‘26 | 2–5 days | London/flexible
Between jobs? Fine. Returning after time away? Fine. Need to work around children or caring responsibilities? Fine. Want three really interesting days rather than five? Fine. Lots of experience but keep being told you're overqualified? Also fine. In fact, some of those things may make you more attractive to us, not less.

We have a fixed employment-cost budget of up to £100k including employment costs. So we’re happy to employ a great person full-time — or buy fewer days from someone with considerably more experience, so long as it does the job we need.
There is one other important thing to know. We hope this role will be long term, but we can't promise that today. Right now, this is a fixed term contract until end March '27. So we are not looking to persuade someone to leave a great, secure permanent job.
