About the opportunity
Are you from a professional services background and starting to question whether the traditional path still fits the life you want to build?
Parallel Rise is a personal and leadership development brand created for capable, growth-minded professionals who are rethinking success beyond long hours, constant pressure, commuting and the daily grind.
We partner alongside a global organisation within the personal development sector, which has a presence in over 100 countries worldwide. The platform focuses on online personal development, leadership growth, mindset, resilience, self-leadership and intentional living, with a particular interest in supporting professionals who are ready to explore a more flexible and purpose-led next chapter. The organisation also offers in-person seminars for additional networking and learning opportunities.
Parallel Rise is founded by a former Big 4 Partner, and speaks directly to people who understand high-performance environments, client service, responsibility, deadlines, leadership pressure and the desire to build something more aligned with their values, time and future goals.
This opportunity is best suited to mature, self-motivated professionals who are open to entrepreneurship, personal development and independent growth.
Role description and responsibilities
This is a remote, flexible opportunity.
The consultant will support conversations around personal development, leadership growth, mindset, resilience, career reinvention and intentional lifestyle design. The role is suited to someone who can communicate with professionals in a credible, thoughtful and emotionally intelligent way, particularly those who may be feeling burnt out or ready to rethink the next stage of their working life.
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.
