We're working with a global organisation that is undergoing a high-impact business divestment programme. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in understanding how a business currently operates and what is required for it to successfully operate as a standalone organisation.
The Role
- Analyse the current state of the business being divested and understand its operation within the wider organisation.
- Identify dependencies between the divested business and the parent organisation.
- Assess the requirements for the business to operate independently post-separation.
- Engage with stakeholders across Finance, HR, Sales, Operations, Legal, IT, and Data functions.
- Identify business, operational, process, people, data, application, and technology dependencies.
- Support the definition of the future-state/standalone business environment and document processes, requirements, and gaps.
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.
