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.
It’s a collaborative environment where evidence matters, constructive challenge is welcome and continuous improvement is part of the day job. You’ll build strong relationships and help stakeholders make decisions with confidence.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead monthly forecasts for ticket revenue, ancillary revenue, profit and load factor at route and month level, as well as the bottom-up revenue budget forecast.
You’ll own key assumptions around competitive capacity, network and capacity plans, economic drivers and strategic initiatives, applying sound judgement when market conditions or route circumstances change.
You’ll explain forecast movements, risks and opportunities through clear commentary, scenario analysis and sensitivity modelling, helping decision-makers understand the commercial implications.
What we’re looking for
You bring strong commercial forecasting and modelling expertise, with the numerical confidence to analyse complex data, test assumptions and solve commercial problems in a structured way.
You understand revenue and cost drivers, market dynamics and performance measures, and can translate analysis into practical recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences.
You’re a credible partner and an experienced analytical leader who builds trust, develops others and creates accountability. You’ll also be motivated to improve forecasting methods, tools, automation, data quality and accuracy.
