Help shape the future of the People and Culture profession.
At The TCM Group, we believe better workplaces create better outcomes for people, organisations and society.
For more than 25 years we have been at the forefront of people, culture, leadership and organisational transformation, working with organisations including the BBC, Deloitte, HSBC, NHS England, Network Rail, Tesco, the British Army, the UK Civil Service and many more.
Today we are entering an exciting new phase of growth.
Through The People Leader and the People and Culture Institute, we are building one of the world's leading communities for people professionals, researchers, academics and organisational leaders. Together we are creating research, professional standards, publications, events and communities that influence how organisations think about people, culture and leadership.
We are now looking for an exceptional Research, Publications and Standards Coordinator to help make that vision a reality.
About the role
This is not a traditional research or administrative role.
It is an opportunity to become the engine behind a growing global knowledge community.
Working closely with our CEO, David Liddle, together with colleagues across The People Leader, the People and Culture Institute and the wider TCM Group, you will coordinate an ambitious programme of research, publications and professional standards that helps shape the future of the profession.
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.
