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.
The consultancy will examine the end-to-end experience of working with Blue Ventures and connect it to the organisational choices shaping that experience. This includes how functions such as training and learning, partnerships, programme performance, data science and advocacy engage partners and coordinate their work.
Direct partner research will inform the assignment. The consultant must also bring the expertise to interpret and challenge existing arrangements, develop alternative approaches and demonstrate how support could be designed and delivered differently.
The work should introduce a shared framework that Blue Ventures can continue using beyond the consultancy. By applying this framework to selected priority areas, the consultant should demonstrate its value and help teams develop the understanding and practices needed to maintain it. The assignment is not expected to identify or design every change the organisation may need.

The primary focus will be partners funded through the Frontline Community Fund (FCF) and their interactions across Blue Ventures. The consultancy will complement our wider Partnership Strategy and internal operating model review, informing both without taking responsibility for the overall strategy, a comprehensive internal efficiency review or full implementation of recommendations.
