Hybrid working – London
Altum are exclusively partnered with a UK PE-backed client to appoint their first Head of Reward.
Following significant growth through acquisition, the organisation is now entering a key phase of harmonisation and transformation. This role offers the opportunity to build a strategic reward function from the ground up, creating consistency across terms and conditions, benefits, pay structures, and reward frameworks across the UK.
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.
