Company Description

Our vision is to be the world leader in sports betting and gaming entertainment by creating the most exciting and trusted experience for our customers, revolutionizing the gambling space as we go. We're home to a global family of >25 well-known brands, and with a focus on sustainability and growth, we will transform our sector for our players, ourselves and for the good of entertainment.

The Group Corporate Strategy team sits at the centre of Entain, supporting the development of the Group's long-term strategy and driving key enterprise-wide initiatives. The team partners closely with senior leadership across business units and functions to shape strategic priorities, evaluate growth opportunities (including M&A, partnerships, and new ventures), and deliver high-impact strategic projects that inform decision-making at the highest levels of the organisation.

Job Description

As a Senior Associate, you will play a critical role in delivering the Group's strategic agenda by owning discrete workstreams within complex strategic projects. You will translate ambiguous problems into structured analysis, generate actionable insights, and contribute to shaping strategic recommendations, while actively engaging stakeholders across the business.

This is an exciting opportunity for a high-performing, analytical, and collaborative individual looking to grow their impact in a dynamic, global environment.

  • Own analytical workstreams end-to-end, structuring problems and delivering actionable insights
  • Conduct and synthesise complex analysis across markets, customers, competitors, and financials
  • Develop robust business cases related to M&A, partnerships, and growth initiatives
  • Produce high-quality materials with clear, compelling narratives for senior stakeholders
  • Engage cross-functional stakeholders to challenge assumptions, refine analysis, and align on recommendations

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.
