About the Role
We are looking for a motivated Business Consultant to join our consulting team and contribute to real client engagements. This is a hands-on, project-based internship, not a passive or observational role. You will work alongside other consultants on real business challenges, conduct research and analysis, and contribute to professional client deliverables. You will have the opportunity to develop practical consulting skills while working with an international team.

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.
