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.
Data protection experience would be advantageous, although not essential.

- Confident advising on intellectual property rights within commercial and transactional contexts
- Experienced in drafting and negotiating IT, IP and commercial agreements
- Commercially minded, with strong drafting and negotiation skills
