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.
What You’ll Bring
- Demonstrable experience in producing business requirements, business processes and other analysis documentation.
- Confidence working in both Agile and Waterfall environments.
- Clear communication skills, able to influence technical and non-technical audiences.
- Tangible examples of delivering change through technology.
What We Value
We’re not just looking for technical expertise - we value the behaviours that drive meaningful change. The ideal candidate will demonstrate:
- Initiative and independence in leading analysis.
- Confidence navigating complex stakeholder environments.
- Curiosity and a drive to challenge assumptions and explore new ideas.
- Proactive energy and a focus on continuous improvement.
- Professionalism and integrity in all interactions.
Equality, diversity, and inclusion
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and aim to reflect the diverse communities we serve. We believe that a diverse workforce enables us to deliver better services and outcomes. Our goal is to make our recruitment as inclusive as possible. As a Disability Confident Leader, we actively encourage applications from disabled people. As part of the Disability Confident scheme, we aim to offer an assessment or interview to candidates who apply via the scheme where the minimum essential criteria for skills, knowledge and experience has been met. In some circumstances, it may not be practical to offer an interview or assessment to every candidate who applies through the scheme and meet the minimum essential criteria; in these situations, we select candidates who best meet the minimum criteria for the job rather than interviewing all who meet them.
Across all recruitment activity, we recognise that selection methods may vary depending on the nature and scale of the campaign and will be applied fairly, consistently and proportionately in line with our Disability Confident commitments.
Application Process
Please apply using your CV and a maximum two-page cover letter. Your application should clearly demonstrate how your skills, experience and approach align with the requirements and values outlined in the advert. Applications without both a CV and a cover letter will not be considered.
Thinking of using AI for your application?
AI can help, but over-reliance often makes applications sound generic and less personal. We want to get to know you - let your own voice and experiences come through in your application.
