About Reed
Reed is the UK's largest family-run recruitment business, founded on the belief that work should improve lives. We have been helping people and businesses succeed for over 60 years and continue to invest heavily in technology, innovation and our people.
When you join Reed, you're joining a business that genuinely values career progression, wellbeing, flexibility and personal development. Our culture is built on trust, collaboration and making a positive difference.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Product Support Business Analyst to join our Product Delivery team and play a key role in supporting and enhancing our CRM platforms.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a naturally curious problem-solver who enjoys investigating complex issues, working closely with stakeholders and delivering improvements that have a real impact on users across the business.
You'll act as an escalation point for our Service Desk, taking ownership of complex system issues, identifying root causes and working with development and product teams to deliver effective solutions. You'll also help drive continuous improvement by gathering user feedback, delivering training and supporting the implementation of new functionality.
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.
