We are seeking an experienced executive who can process payroll, take ownership of the credit control function and perform accounting data entry in Sage 50 within a fast-paced, people-focused business. This is a hands-on, operational role suited to someone who is confident in payroll processes, maintaining accuracy under pressure, and proactively resolving issues.

You will play a critical role in ensuring accurate, compliant, and timely payroll, acting as a key point of contact for contractors and internal stakeholders. Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach are essential to support both operational delivery and positive working relationships across the business.

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.
