  • Leads user-centred product design by applying diverse UX research techniques, mentoring junior team members, producing research documentation, and collaborating with UX and visual designers to shape both structure and visual identity.
  • Uses data-driven analysis and testing to inform strategy by regularly testing with users, establishing key metrics, iterating research methods, summarising insights, and identifying data gaps to improve decision-making.
  • Demonstrates strong technical research skills by expertly using relevant tools and software across varied contexts, mentoring junior researchers, and collaborating effectively with tech teams.
  • Practices self-development by taking ownership of growth, engaging in regular feedback, aligning with business needs, learning from experience, and leveraging networks to build challenges into current work.
  • Effectively solves problems by gathering facts from multiple sources, analysing issues thoroughly, and independently managing day-to-day challenges.
  • Encourages collaboration and teamwork by fostering open communication, resolving conflicts, removing performance barriers, and promoting cross-team cooperation.

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.
