Job Description

You own the entire AI roadmap for one of the UK's largest pension funds, starting from a blank canvas.

This is a greenfield project in the truest sense. No legacy decisions to unpick, no leadership with fixed ideas about how it should be done. You come in, assess what is needed, and shape the direction of AI across the organisation from the ground up.

That means doing the serious strategic work. You are running buy vs build analysis, evaluating where AI creates real value, and making the calls that determine how this fund moves forward with technology. The decisions you make here will have lasting impact across one of the most significant pension funds in the UK.

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.

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.

You are not joining a team that has already figured it out. You are the person who figures it out. That is a rare thing.

The fund itself is a compelling place to do this work. Scale, stability, and genuine appetite from leadership to get this right. They are not paying lip service to AI, they are investing seriously and giving you the space to lead it properly.

When it comes to what you bring, you need a genuine understanding of how AI implementations actually work in practice. The buy vs build thinking, the ability to translate technical options into business decisions, and the credibility to take stakeholders with you on the journey.

On top of the salary, the pension is genuinely excellent, which feels fitting given where you will be working.

This is a role where your thinking shapes something that does not exist yet. That does not come along often.
