The role

We are looking for experienced Business Change Managers to play a key role in our transformation journey. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives within a fast-paced change environment across people, process, and technology, ensuring change can land effectively, delivering meaningful business benefits.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with project teams, leaders, and impacted business areas to design, plan and embed structured change approaches, ensuring our people are informed, capable, and fully ready for change.

You’ll have the opportunity to grow professionally and contribute to our transformation journey working across a range of stakeholder groups.

Some of your other main accountabilities will include;

  • Ensure all relevant change activities are planned, aligned and delivered effectively, in line with the Business Change Framework to drive consistency and value in how change is managed.
  • Create structured change journeys, guiding individuals and teams through transition.
  • Work with training specialists to ensure fit-for-purpose training plans, materials and deployment approaches are developed and delivered for all impacted stakeholders.
  • Act as a main point of contact for impacted business areas, helping shape and influence decisions, resolving issues, and support the business to fully adopt and sustain change.
  • You’ll encourage openness, collaboration and continuous improvement across the change community, supporting the business as changes move from deployment into BAU.

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.
