Can you see what's really stopping a business performing?

A process map is useful. Finding the £2m hidden behind a broken process is considerably more interesting.

Valexis Consulting works with PE-backed businesses to improve performance and create measurable enterprise value.

We're looking to meet exceptional Operational Excellence and Performance Improvement consultants who combine rigorous analysis with the ability to get improvements implemented.

What you'll do

You'll get under the skin of how portfolio companies actually operate and identify practical opportunities to improve performance.

That could involve:

  • Diagnosing operational performance and identifying the real causes of underperformance
  • Mapping and challenging existing processes, operating models and ways of working
  • Identifying productivity, cost, service and working-capital opportunities
  • Designing pragmatic future-state processes and operating models
  • Quantifying improvement opportunities and building credible implementation cases
  • Establishing KPIs and performance-management disciplines
  • Working alongside management teams to implement improvements
  • Tracking whether expected benefits actually reach the P&L

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.

PE experience is useful, but not mandatory. Understanding the relationship between operational performance, EBITDA and enterprise value is more important.
