Your new role:
If you are a skilled credit controller who enjoys tackling aged debt, dealing with queries and partnering with other areas of the business to resolve issues that are delaying payments, then this is the role for you. This is not just a telephone-chasing role, you will need to be comfortable reconciling customer accounts and the associated receivables' administration. Duties will include:

  • Contacting customers to discuss aged and overdue invoices
  • Working extensively with internal colleagues in other departments (sales, finance, customer service, operations etc) to sort issues and disputes
  • Digging into the details relating to issues and disputes that are preventing payments from being made
  • Reconciling customer accounts to give a clear understanding of the account status
  • Dealing with misallocated payments and raising credits as required
  • Reporting on your ledger of accounts

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.
