We are SMRS

A global brand, culture and communications business that believes opportunity should be open to all.

We open doors. For people, for ideas and for organisations ready to change for the better. We think bigger to challenge assumptions and explore new ideas. We give a damn about the work we do and the impact it makes. And we add colour to every project with our personalities and our collective thinking.

We're also committed to creating a positive impact. From sustainability to social purpose, you'll be part of a company that values diversity, champions inclusion and supports the world we're helping to shape.

The role

The role combines research delivery with the chance to influence how insight is delivered across the business. You'll design studies, explore data, interpret findings and quality assure outputs, while also helping us improve our research approaches and identify practical ways to use technology, AI and automation to work smarter.

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.
