- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop effective readiness plans
- Work with the Training Lead to support creation of practical tools, interventions, and learning moments that help people adapt to (and embrace) change, with the aim of strengthening change capability
- Hold regular readiness planning review sessions with impacted business owners
- Provide guidance and support to project teams and stakeholders throughout the change process and training
- Participate in post-implementation reviews and identify areas for improvement

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.
