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.

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.
Requirements:

- Proven experience leading PMO activities across complex programmes
- Strong governance, reporting, planning, RAID and programme controls experience
- Experience working across multiple workstreams and bringing together a portfolio-level PMO view
- Excellent senior stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence when required
- A hands-on approach – you should be happy to get stuck in when needed, as this is not a purely strategic PMO position
