We’re looking for an experienced Prospect Research Manager (interim) to provide specialist support to a high-performing Philanthropy & Development team during a period of transition. This is a hands-on assignment focused on delivering high-quality prospect research, due diligence, network mapping, and strategic insight that supports high-value fundraising activity.

  • Working closely with fundraising and data colleagues, you’ll help identify and qualify prospective supporters, strengthen prospect pipelines, and review existing prospect research and prospect management processes.
  • You’ll bring strong analytical skills, experience working with high-value fundraising teams, and the ability to quickly understand organizational priorities and deliver impactful recommendations from day one.

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.
