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.
If you've worked in a role where you translated partnership strategy into measurable commercial results, you'll feel at home here. What matters most is your ability to connect long-term strategic thinking with commercial execution, while influencing outcomes across a complex organisation.
Life on the team
You'll join Markets & Channels Central Marketing, where we help bring together commercial opportunities, audience needs and partner ambitions. Our work is collaborative by nature and relies on strong relationships across the business. We value thoughtful decision-making, clear communication and a leadership style that creates direction, develops capability and helps talented colleagues do their best work. Our hybrid rhythm combines focused individual work with opportunities to come together and solve challenges as a team.
What success looks like
Success isn't defined by the number of partnerships you manage. It's defined by the commercial value those partnerships create. Over the next 12 to 18 months, you'll establish a clear roadmap for how the LEGO Group approaches commercial IP partnerships, strengthen strategic partnerships with key collaborators and help teams make more confident decisions about where and how to invest. You'll work closely with planning teams, Market Groups, Consumer teams and senior leaders to ensure partnership opportunities are translated into meaningful business outcomes.
