About The Role
What does the average day look like?
No two days are the same in this fast-paced and varied role. One morning might begin with coordinating diaries, arranging complex meetings and preparing materials for senior leaders. Later in the day, you could be attending meetings, taking accurate minutes and tracking actions to ensure commitments are followed through and priorities remain on track.
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.
