YOU ARE
You lead a significant knowledge engineering scope and function within a large program; actively contribute to thought leadership. You shape how a substantial body of work formulates real-world problems into scalable AI and KG solutions, and set the technical direction for that scope. You lead a team and guide exploration and implementation of new methodologies, model building techniques, and cutting-edge algorithms. You remain at the forefront and drive innovation by applying these techniques to new business problems, use cases, and scenarios. You design, evaluate, and maintain ontologies, and establish the standards others follow. You justify the value to business and technology stakeholders, and construct the methodologies and data architectures that demonstrate it. You publish or present perspective beyond the immediate project. You work across business and technical teams to drive end-to-end delivery for their scope.

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.
