Working closely with some of their most important reseller partners, you will play a key role in driving revenue growth, increasing market share, and maximising opportunities across our extensive portfolio of IT hardware and services.
The Role

You will build strong relationships at multiple levels, identify new opportunities, and work closely with internal teams to provide exceptional customer experiences.
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.
