Job Description

Company Description

We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future.

As strategies, technologies, and innovation collide, we create opportunity from complexity.

Our teams of interdisciplinary experts—including strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, digital experts, scientists, engineers, and technologists—combine innovative thinking and breakthrough technologies to progress further, faster. Our clients adapt and transform, and together we achieve enduring results.

We are over 4,000 professionals operating globally from offices across the UK, Ireland, US, Nordics, and Netherlands.

PA: Bringing Ingenuity to Life.


What About the Role?

We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future. We challenge where it matters and own the outcome. We combine strategic thinking, customer-centric service design, and agile engineering practices to accelerate innovation in a tech-driven world.

Why Join Our Digital & Data Community?

  • Collaborate with product, design, and cross-disciplinary teams to bring ideas to life through innovative software solutions.
  • Build a flexible career within a trust-based, inclusive environment that values excellence, innovation, and curiosity.
  • Progress on a technical career track—no need to follow the Partner track.
  • Hybrid working: Minimum of 2 days per week in-office or on a client site.
  • Work across diverse projects and tech stacks for clients in 7 sectors—no two projects are the same.
  • Engage with a supportive tech community through knowledge sharing, mentorship, and peer support.
  • Deep learning and growth opportunities: Allocate budget for technical and non-technical training, plus certifications.

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.
