Who we are
Join BAE Systems and you’ll be part of something bigger. As a valued member of our global colleague network, you’ll bring your unique skills and perspectives to help pioneer progress and protect what matters most. You’ll be trusted to play your part in delivering the advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions of tomorrow - shaping a safer future, for all of us.

What you’ll be doing
- You will play a key role in delivering company-wide transformation initiatives over a fixed-term period, supporting the adoption of new IT capabilities, operating models, and organisational designs across Digital Intelligence IM&T and the wider business.
- Working across two major programmes—one in active transition and another in design—you will manage end-to-end business change activities, including impact assessments, stakeholder engagement, and adoption planning across multiple concurrent workstreams.
- You will build and lead stakeholder networks, facilitate workshops and governance forums, manage resistance, and promote advocacy for change, ensuring strong business readiness and successful implementation.
- The role also involves maintaining programme artefacts, managing delivery through tools such as Jira and Kanban, supporting communications and training plans, and contributing to business process documentation and continuous improvement initiatives.
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.
