Are you an experienced analyst, performance specialist, researcher or business intelligence professional looking for a role where you can genuinely influence organisational performance?
We are seeking a Performance & Insight Business Partner to play a pivotal role in driving evidence-based decision making across our business.

- Analyse trends, risks, opportunities and performance against targets
- Translate complex data into meaningful business recommendations
- Lead customer research and insight projects, analysing both quantitative and qualitative feedback

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.
