Job Description

At Sage, innovation starts with our people. With over 13,000 colleagues across 40 locations worldwide and more than 2 million customers, we’re united by a shared purpose: to transform the way millions of businesses work. As a global leader in AI, finance and HR software, we harness cutting-edge technology to simplify complexity and drive progress.

We’re now looking for ambitious, curious apprentices to join our People Enablement team, people who want to help shape how we work smarter, remove duplication, and drive meaningful change through automation and AI, while earning a recognised Level 4 qualification at the same time.

Why join Sage as an Apprentice?

This isn’t a passive learning programme. From day one, you’ll work on real challenges alongside experienced colleagues, with structured development, mentoring, and hands-on delivery.

Key Responsibilities

What you will be involved in

As a Business Process & Enablement Apprentice, you’ll sit at the centre of how Sage identifies and acts on opportunities to work better. You’ll map processes, surface inefficiencies, and help drive change through automation and AI, all while developing the skills and knowledge that underpin your Level 4 qualification.

  • Map end-to-end business processes across teams and functions, identifying duplication, bottlenecks, and areas of risk
  • Investigate where automation and AI can eliminate manual effort and improve how teams operate
  • Work with stakeholders across the business to understand how work actually flows, not just how it’s documented
  • Support the design and testing of process improvements, from quick wins through to larger transformation initiatives
  • Help teams adopt new ways of working by creating clear guidance, training materials, and change communications
  • Track and communicate the impact of improvements, including time saved, risk reduced, and efficiency gained
  • Contribute to building a culture of continuous improvement across the Enablement function
  • Collaborate with technical colleagues to understand how process insights can be translated into scalable, automated solutions

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

What we are looking for

We welcome applications from people who are at the start of their career and ready to learn. You don’t need a degree or prior experience in process improvement, what matters most is your curiosity, your drive to make things better, and a genuine comfort with technology and change.

To meet the entry requirements for the Level 4 apprenticeship, you’ll need:

  • Five GCSEs at grades 9 to 4, including English and Maths
  • Plus one of the following: an A-level, a Level 3 Apprenticeship or vocational qualification in Business Studies, Computer Science or similar vocational studies

Beyond that, you’ll stand out if you:

  • Are passionate about continuous improvement and genuinely motivated to make processes work better
  • Approach problems with curiosity and an open mind, asking the right questions to gain a deeper understanding before jumping to solutions
  • Embrace change and new technology, rather than defaulting to the way things have always been done
  • Are a keen, self-directed learner who actively seeks out new tools, methods, and ideas
  • Are comfortable using technology day-to-day and quick to pick up new platforms and workflows
  • Communicate clearly and confidently with people across teams, technical and non-technical alike
  • Take accountability for your own development and work well as part of a collaborative team
