- Lead the onboarding of new delivery partners, ensuring alignment with operational models, contractual requirements, and quality standards.
- Manage ongoing partner relationships, providing support to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery.
- Support the mobilisation and implementation of new contracts and programmes.
- Ensure partner services are fully integrated within wider operational delivery.
- Monitor partnership performance using data, KPIs, and operational insights to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Ensure all partnerships operate in line with contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, and quality assurance frameworks.

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.
