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.
This role supports direct investment activity by helping to instruct and liaise with external legal advisers, reviewing key transaction documents and supporting materials, assisting with non-disclosure agreements and related documents, and helping to maintain legal templates and records. You will also provide broader legal support across the team, including coordinating document execution, responding to internal requests under supervision, and supporting legal policies, procedures and reporting.
You’ll demonstrate good organisational skills, attention to detail and clear written and verbal communication. You will be comfortable working with confidential information, managing competing priorities and collaborating with colleagues across different teams.
Experience in a law firm, financial institution, development finance institution or in-house legal team would be helpful, but we are also interested in hearing from you if you can show a clear interest in developing a legal career and have the ability to bring a collaborative and professional approach, sound judgement, curiosity and a willingness to develop your legal knowledge across different areas.
