Business Manager - Chief Change Officer Support

Location

Manchester


We’re looking for a brilliant Business Manager to support the Chief Change Officer of an ambitious and growing Insurance Company - someone who can bring energy, pace and polish to executive storytelling, PowerPoint presentation development, board and leadership reporting, governance, stakeholder engagement and collaborative delivery.

This is a highly visible role at the centre of transformation. You’ll be a trusted partner to the Chief Change Officer, helping turn complex change activity into clear, compelling stories that inform decisions, inspire confidence and help senior leaders move forward at pace. You’ll work across teams, connect people and priorities, and help make sure momentum never stalls.

You will help bring the change agenda to life by:

  • Acting as the Chief Change Officer’s central point of coordination across the change team, helping create clarity, rhythm and momentum
  • Build strong relationships across change, technology, operations, finance, communications and business teams to join the dots and keep delivery aligned
  • Creating standout PowerPoint packs for executive, board, committee and leadership meetings, bringing structure, clarity and visual impact to complex change topics
  • Attend senior meetings with the Chief Change Officer, taking accurate minutes and tracking actions through to completion
  • Shaping powerful stories for senior audiences, translating data, risks, progress and decisions into concise messages, recommendations and calls to action
  • Produce board and executive reporting that is polished, accurate and action-oriented, ensuring leadership can quickly understand progress, issues, decisions required and next steps
  • Manage the flow of information into and out of the Chief Change Officer’s office, coordinating responses across the business
  • Collaborate with senior stakeholders and subject matter experts to gather inputs, challenge assumptions, resolve gaps and turn contributions into clear executive materials
  • Support change planning, performance tracking and reporting across strategic programmes and initiatives
  • Working at pace, cutting through ambiguity, making things easier for others, unblocking issues and following through until things are done
  • Coordinate communications on behalf of the Chief Change Officer, working with internal communications where required
  • Support key projects that sit within the strategic priorities

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.
