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.

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.
The role leads the delivery of research and information outputs for a defined group of member banks and insurers, with a strong focus on effective facilitation, communication and stakeholder engagement. Importantly, this is a role for a manager who owns delivery – accountable for producing high-quality outputs on time, to standard, and for motivating teams to turn insight into tangible member value.
The role holder will be expected to travel internationally from time to time, as per business requirements.
To be successful as a Senior Research Manager you should have experience with:
- Communication and facilitation
- Demonstrable success in programme and project leadership and delivery
- Experience in understanding advanced concepts and translating into business solutions
- Effective stakeholder management
Experience working in the financial sector or risk management would be beneficial but isn’t essential for this role. We need someone who can confidently facilitate discussions on risk management and measurement practices and have the intellectual curiosity to explore and create meaningful, valuable insights for our members.
