About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced SPA or FDD / transaction services professional to join our client's SPA team in one of three Manager positions they are recruiting for. In this growing and dynamic team of 25 people you will be working across a broader part of the deal life cycle for much longer (pre- and post-deal); you will be working across all sectors and will not be pigeonholed, unless you want to specialise; and you will be working on multiple projects simultaneously. This service line is a huge focus of growth for my client's Deals business and their revenue and headcount is expected to double over the next two years. If you are seeking a friendly team to work in this one could also be the role for you, with team events such as 20:20 cricket, shuffle boarding, Bounce table tennis, canoeing, monthly lunches and more. They have a fantastic culture!

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.
