- End-to-End Ownership: Manage the complete research lifecycle—from developing user recruitment briefs and conducting sessions to session analysis, report writing, and playbacks to teams and stakeholders.
- Strategic Influence: Align research activities to influence and support decision-making, and collaborate with product owners and service managers to devise focused research strategies.
- Material Development: Convert concepts and emerging findings into high-quality stimulus materials.
- Collaboration & Translation: Work closely with designers and developers to turn user data and insights into actionable requirements that feed into prototype development and influence product direction.

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.
