Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
A core element of the role is fostering a local finance ecosystem that enables innovative, high‑potential businesses to access the right finance, regardless of location or stage of development. The position also leverages the Bank’s expertise in small business access to finance, alongside its extensive networks of finance providers and investors.
- You will need to establish credibility quickly with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, from investment professionals to local leaders and politicians, in order to facilitate the development, negotiation and implementation of initiatives that drive change and growth within the region.
You will bring commercial experience in accessing and/or delivering equity or debt finance, together, with a credible technical and strategic understanding of how investment decisions are made and how capital flows into local markets. This experience may have been gained within a finance provider, or as a founder or business operator. You will also have a proven ability to act as a strategic partner to external stakeholders, influencing decision‑makers at both operational and strategic levels. Experience of working with, convening and developing investor networks would be a distinct advantage.
