Strategy Capability Lead | Growth Consulting
Central London Hybrid
£100k Base Salary
How much of the strategy work you deliver actually gets used?
Be honest. Most of your work probably sat in a folder after the final debrief. That’s not a knock on the work, it’s just how consulting usually goes: you deliver, you leave, and the client’s left to figure out the “now what.”
This role exists to fix that gap.
The Client
Our client is a fast-growing strategy and insight consultancy, working with some of the world’s biggest brands. They’re deliberately building something rare in this industry: a function whose whole job is making sure the strategic thinking actually lands, not just gets delivered.
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 Day-to-Day
You’ll own a brand new function, sitting underneath everything else the business does.
That means:
- Diagnosing where a client’s organisation is stuck, and deciding what to embed first
- Turning strategy and frameworks into tools, dashboards, workshops, and coaching people genuinely use
- Building content (films, training, workshops) that makes the work stick, not just documents it
- Working the whole client org, from the leadership team down to the people using the tools daily
- Shaping what “capability” even means for a consultancy in an AI-driven world

The Ideal Candidate
You’ve probably worked both sides of this: consultancy or innovation agency, and client-side too. You’ve felt the frustration of handing over great strategic work and watching it stall. You’ve got real opinions on why that happens, and what actually gets people to change how they work.
You might come from a client-side capability or insight team, or from an innovation consultancy. What matters more than the CV line is this: have you actually driven transformation, or just delivered training? If it’s the latter, this probably isn’t your role.
