We’re supporting a London-based healthcare transformation consultancy looking to connect with independent consultants with strong life sciences experience.

They are interested in candidates with a consulting background, deep life sciences knowledge, and the ability to work independently in fast-paced, client-facing environments. Work may include analysis, proposal support, client materials, and strategic or transformation projects across pharma, biotech, medtech, regulatory, or commercial life sciences.

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.
