About the organisation

Our client is an independent regulatory body in the UK responsible for ensuring the financial markets work well for the consumers and the economy, promoting market integrity and effective competition.

They are looking for an experienced Senior Business Change practitioner to join their Departmental Change Teams to help to deliver their portfolio.

About the team

Within the Change Directorate, the Departmental Change Teams (DCT) work closely with business areas to deliver business change activities in support of technology, regulation, process and behavioural changes. DCTs are made up of key change disciplines such as business change, project management and business analysis.

Role Responsibilities:

  • Analysing stakeholder groups and driving stakeholder engagement and management to support project and programme delivery.
  • Developing detailed change impact assessments and securing a shared view of these impacts across areas impacted, the programme team and the business area sponsoring by the change.
  • Developing effective and appropriate change interventions and deliverables in conjunction with the business and programme team to manage these impacts. Change activities will include, amongst others: the establishment and leadership of change champion networks, communication plans, engagement materials, training needs analysis, go-live readiness plans and supporting the transition to BAU teams.
  • Working closely with project and programme teams to deliver change aligned to the Change Delivery Framework and collaborating with other areas to ensure a joined-up experience for end users.
  • Being an active member of the Business Change practice, supporting the development of content for capability frameworks, best practice methodologies and deliverable frameworks.

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.
