We're currently delivering the Workstyle Monitor
We're currently delivering the Workstyle Monitor, a five-year longitudinal research study in partnership with King's College London exploring the relationship between autonomy, trust, technology and outcomes including wellbeing, productivity and inclusion.
As the project grows, we're looking to strengthen our research capability by bringing in an experienced Research & Impact Lead to work alongside our team and academic partners. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape one of the UK's emerging longitudinal workplace research programmes.
Initial Responsibilities
Initially, you'll support the interpretation and communication of Year 1 findings, helping ensure our research reaches employers, policymakers and practitioners in an engaging and accessible way.
Long-term Responsibilities
Longer term, we'd love these responsibilities to help strengthen Workstyle's research capability, supporting future studies, funding applications and collaboration with our academic partners.
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.
