Shape the future of Transformation as a Business Analyst at Rochdale

Ready to make a real difference? Join us as a Business Analyst!

We’re looking for two curious, proactive Business Analysts to join our Transformation PMO team at Rochdale Borough Council. If you love solving problems, working with people and turning ideas into action, this could be the job for you. (One 2 year fixed term post to support ASC EPiC Lives Transformation Programme and one permanent post within the Corporate PMO)

In this role, you’ll get stuck into all things change and improvement. You’ll chat with teams across the council, dig into how things work now and help shape how they could work better. You’ll build business cases, write and present options and recommendations to senior leaders and work to make sure our projects deliver real value for our residents and colleagues.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Spotting opportunities for change and helping teams make them happen
  • Working with Project Managers, service leads and tech teams to design smarter ways of working
  • Analysing processes, finding ways to save money and improve services
  • Championing best practice and sharing your know how with others
  • Supporting a culture of continuous improvement and positive change

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.
