About the Firm
Our client is a specialist consulting firm that helps organisations navigate high-stakes, adversarial situations — including litigation and arbitration support, tracing hidden assets, enforcing judgments, and conducting internal investigations. Their work spans a wide range of industries and geographies.
Role Opportunity
They're now looking to bring in a seasoned investigations professional at Manager or Associate Director level (the exact title will depend on your experience) to own delivery on complex, sensitive engagements and to lead the teams carrying out the underlying research.
What the Role Involves
Working closely with senior leadership, you'll take primary responsibility for planning and executing investigative work, then turning that thinking into polished, client-facing output.
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.
Specifically, you'll:
- Direct in-depth research using public records and oversee carefully-designed enquiries involving human sources, particularly on sensitive assignments
- Contribute to building and pressure-testing investigative strategy, identifying weak points and recommending fixes
- Oversee a team of Associates and Researchers — assigning work and ensuring it's delivered on time, to a high standard, and in the right direction
- Quality-check and refine written outputs so they're ready (or nearly ready) to go to the client
- Engage directly with clients where needed, and contribute to budgeting, billing and resource planning across your caseload
- Coach and develop more junior team members, and help roll out new investigative techniques and tools
