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.

What you'll be up to
Day to day, you'll be owning and growing UK retail relationships across channels, landing new listings, and building account plans grounded in real data. It's a small, hands-on team, so expect to flex your style and pitch in wherever's needed. In your first six months you'll need to properly understand what category growth means for this business, push hard toward the growth incentives, and show you can own the UK market.
About you
You'll be an experienced and ambitious NAM/SNAM who's worked across multiple accounts and channels (inc Grocery, Impulse), commercially sharp, analytical, and happy making calls without perfect information in front of you. You should be at ease in a small team where job titles matter less than getting things done, and resilient enough to hold your own in a fairly volatile grocery market. Challenger/Start up/SME experience very much welcomed!
