Using structured thinking, persuasive storytelling and exceptional visual communication, you'll transform complex investment concepts into clear, engaging sales materials that help us win.
About you

You combine strong communication skills with visual thinking and sound judgement, enabling you to improve not only how presentations look, but how effectively they communicate.
You'll bring significant experience in institutional investment management, consulting or another strategic B2B environment, together with advanced PowerPoint and Adobe Creative Suite skills, strong visual communication capability and a passion for creating business-winning communications.
You're excited by the opportunity to grow into a trusted communication partner for Sales and Marketing.
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.
