Not your average Project Management role!
At Summer, we're not just another agency, we're an unparalleled, creative force in global event retail spaces, designing and delivering extraordinary retail experiences for some of the world's biggest sporting events and brands.
From the Olympic Games, Wimbledon, The Open, Formula 1, the NFL, Major League Baseball and the Rugby World Cup, to the iconic Real Madrid flagship store at the Santiago Bernabéu, our projects are experienced by millions of fans around the world. We don't just build retail stores, we create destinations where fans connect with their favourite teams, brands and unforgettable moments.
We're looking for an organised problem-solver, a calm head under pressure, and someone who gets a buzz from turning ambitious ideas into reality. If you love seeing a project evolve from a sketch on a screen to a retail space buzzing with fans, this might just be your next adventure.
Here, it's not just project management, it's bringing creative visions to life. One week you could be coordinating graphics for an international sporting event, the next you're managing production, logistics and installation for a flagship retail space on the other side of the world. No two projects are the same, and that's exactly how we like it.
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.
