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.
This is a consultancy-side role — you'll need direct experience delivering software built specifically for a client, not off-the-shelf product implementation.

- Staff and manage agile delivery teams, including resourcing and pricing

- Manage risk, governance, and reporting across complex, multi-workstream programmes
