Referment

Referment is working with a sector-led non-profit that helps schools and school groups use data and AI safely and effectively. The organisation provides governed open-source data infrastructure and shared analytical tools, and is building the operating model it needs to become an independent charity.

This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who can create the systems behind a growing organisation. You will work closely with the organisation lead and its incubator, bringing structure to governance, finance, suppliers, communications and team operations while keeping several workstreams moving at once.

The Role

  • Build and improve operational processes, systems and controls, including procurement, contracts, subscriptions, access management and data governance.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, invoice review and financial reporting for leadership and governance groups.
  • Run governance calendars and coordinate papers, records and logistics for steering and advisory groups, including preparations for charity obligations.
  • Maintain the organisation’s website, professional community and communications channels, and coordinate relevant press enquiries and case studies.
  • Plan events, webinars and conference activity, managing logistics from venues and speakers through to registration and follow-up.
  • Act as the operational hub for a small team, spotting inefficiencies and putting practical solutions in place.

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.
