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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Previous commercial experience is valuable but not essential. More important is the ability to evaluate the commercial potential of scientific concepts and a sound knowledge of intellectual property issues in a research environment.
We’ll also look to you to help build networks with potential industry partners and other external stakeholders, such as research funding agencies & charities, investors and local and central government.
If you have a relevant degree or professional qualification and a keen interest in University commercialisation activity, we’d love to hear from you.
In return
- You can look forward to an excellent benefits package and a flexible home/office hybrid model supporting real work/life balance.
