£70,000 - £90,000 + Benefits
NOTE: This is not a Developer position.
An organisation within the investment sector is looking for an Application / Platform Manager to take ownership of a suite of business-critical applications and data platforms.
This is not a traditional Application Engineer or Developer role. We're looking for someone commercially minded who sits between the business, technology, data and end users, ensuring platforms continue to evolve with changing business needs.
The role combines Platform Management, Business Analysis and Application Support, with responsibility for requirements gathering, platform configuration, change management, user support and overseeing new system implementations and enhancements.
What You'll Do
- Own and continuously improve a portfolio of business-critical SaaS applications and platforms
- Gather and translate business requirements into effective platform solutions
- Manage configuration, change requests, enhancements and system lifecycles
- Support users and stakeholders across multiple business functions
- Oversee new platform implementations, integrations and enhancements
- Work with technology vendors and implementation partners
- Ensure platforms remain scalable, sustainable and fit for purpose
- Identify opportunities for automation, improved processes and better use of data
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.
