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.
This is a strategic but hands-on role, with a strong focus on data science, experimentation, and measurement. You will develop and improve predictive and statistical data models, helping the business better understand performance, user behaviour, and opportunities for growth.
You'll also work closely with data engineering and analytics to strengthen the organisation's data foundations, while exploring how AI, machine learning, and automation can improve products and processes.
