Role: Business Analyst / Project Manager

Sector: AI & Automation

Location: Chelmsford (2 days in office per week)


A fast-growing AI automation start-up is helping recruitment firms, software companies, and HR teams streamline and automate back- and mid-office operations. Their platform is saving clients significant time and cost, and demand is accelerating fast - including a new US office and a 17% ARR uplift last month alone.


They’re now expanding their Implementation Project Management team and looking for a Business Analyst / Project Manager to support new client onboarding and deliver smooth, high-quality software implementations.


The Role

You’ll lead end-to-end delivery of AI & automation projects, ensuring clients get a seamless implementation experience. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with customers, translate business needs into clear technical requirements, and manage projects through to testing and handover.

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.
