About the Role

As Head of Research, you will lead the research function behind our AI Agent platform: the in-house models, agentic systems and evaluation infrastructure that power everything from document fraud detection to web-scale due diligence. At Arva, model quality is the product. You'll set the research agenda, build and lead the team that delivers it, and stay hands-on: training, fine-tuning and rigorously evaluating systems that must be faster, more thorough and more accurate than human reviewers in live, regulated workflows.

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.
