This is not a back-office role. You’ll set standards, inspire teams, and deliver exceptional service—alongside sharp commercial results—even during high-pressure moments.
We’re seeking confident, people-first leaders who thrive in dynamic environments, make decisive decisions, and bring out the best in others.

- A high-performing department that excels in trade, appearance, and customer experience
- A multiskilled team that is motivated, supported, empowered, and proud of their work
- Clear accountability for standards, safety, availability, and operational excellence
- Strong commercial performance driven by data, agility, and outstanding leadership
- A visionary culture where every colleague feels valued, developed, and eager for growth
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.
