Product Manager
I'm looking for a hands-on Product Manager to join a growing Technology team.
This one is for someone who genuinely enjoys doing the work. You'll own meaningful, complex problems from initial discovery right through to delivery - getting close to users and the wider business, understanding what's actually needed, testing ideas quickly and working alongside Engineering to make them happen.
You'll need to be curious, pragmatic and comfortable rolling your sleeves up in a fast-moving environment.
What we're looking for:
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.
