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.
You will help clients prioritise AI value pools, develop business cases and roadmaps, and assess the data, platform, governance, risk, and change capabilities required to scale GenAI and agentic solutions responsibly.
You will evaluate technology options and vendor proposals and support decisions balancing value, cost, risk, and implementation complexity. Working with architects, engineers, product, and AI specialists, you will understand technical implications while staying focused on strategic and transformation questions.
You will support implementation through governance, value tracking, risk management, and programme assessment. You will lead client workshops, communicate recommendations, coach junior colleagues, and contribute to proposals, client relationships, and BCG Platinion's Telco capabilities.

- Good understanding of key Telco technology domains and how customer, product, order, billing, charging, service, network, and digital capabilities interact
- Awareness of evolving Telco approaches and industry standards, including modular and API-enabled platforms and relevant TM Forum standards
- Experience assessing legacy technology environments and developing pragmatic transformation options
- Ability to evaluate technology programmes and vendors from strategic, commercial, technical, and delivery perspectives
- Strong hypothesis-driven problem-solving skills, an 80:20 mindset, and the ability to navigate ambiguity
- Strong business acumen and ability to connect technology and AI investments to customer outcomes, productivity, cost, risk, and value
- Ability to develop clear roadmaps, business cases, and executive recommendations and to lead workshops with senior client stakeholders
- Ability to independently manage a workstream, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, and coach junior colleagues
