Help Cultural Fashion & Arts CIC grow through meaningful partnerships.
Use your professional experience to identify new opportunities, connect with potential partners and help us build relationships across business, culture, the public sector and community.
What difference will you make?
Strong partnerships will help us reach new communities, create more cultural experiences and build a more sustainable organisation. Your support will help us open new doors, develop mutually beneficial collaborations and create opportunities that enable more people to celebrate and learn about culture through fashion and the arts.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone with experience in partnerships, business development, stakeholder engagement or a related area.
You’ll be confident identifying new opportunities, approaching potential partners and building positive professional relationships. You should be able to understand what different organisations need and spot opportunities where working together could create mutual value.
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.
We’d particularly value
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Experience developing partnerships or new business opportunities.
- Confidence engaging with organisations and senior stakeholders.
- A proactive approach and ability to work independently.
- Good judgement when identifying opportunities that are a genuine fit.
Experience in the arts, culture, events, community engagement or creative industries would be beneficial but isn’t essential.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic about our work, enjoys making connections and would like to use their professional experience to help a growing cultural organisation develop new opportunities.
