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.
Whilst the brand has an incredible heritage, the business is known for its commitment to excellence and upholds innovation and creativity - it constantly strives to make itself not just relevant but continually iconic - you will support this endeavour both on a day to day and strategic level.
About You
A strong IP brands skillset is key, with hands-on management experience also being required. The ability to work collaboratively with marketing, advertising and innovation teams is also key.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Strong relationship development skills and the ability to work on complex IP matters in a commercial way is also essential.
The role is a key role for this high profile brand and will suit an individual who wants to take on a managerial role, who can lead a team and who has a global mindset.
Given the nature and complexity of the IP work involved, industry experience in FMCG, luxury, retail or consumer brands would all suit.
This is a rare and unique opportunity for an experienced IP lawyer to join one of the most recognised brands in the world in a very key role for the brand.
