Key Responsibilities:

  • Own and lead major workstreams of supply chain strategy and advisory engagement on Execution accounts
  • Translate high-level strategic objectives into structured analyses, hypotheses, and deliverables.
  • Co-develop client strategies, operating models, and transformation roadmaps alongside Strategy Advisors.
  • Drive problem-solving sessions and internal alignment on key design decisions.

  • Support executive-level storytelling, including synthesis of insights and implications.
  • Contribute to proposal development, scoping, and estimation activities.
  • Lead internal capability building, asset development, and mentoring efforts.

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.
