About the role
As a Business Relationship Manager, you will ensure effective business engagement and communication between our IT Services Directorate (ITS) and all other business areas within DVLA. You will help to ensure availability of DVLA’s services, continually monitoring and reviewing customer experience to identify improvement opportunities in a way that IT supports business outcomes. For DVLA’s ever expanding portfolio of digital services, you must ensure a thorough understanding of how these underpin business outcomes and how the business’ ways of working are evolving as new and changed services are delivered.
Key Responsibilities
• Act as an overarching contact point for a portfolio of DVLA’s business areas (such as DM, ISG, CAEG, OSG, Contact Centre and non-operational areas), across service and product boundaries.
• Develop and maintain positive relationships with key stakeholders across your portfolio of business areas, providing an efficient means of engagement with ITS on key operational topics, issues and activities.
• Engage with project and major change activity to ensure that operational business impacts, outcomes and ways of working are fully understood when new or changed services are transitioning into live status.
• Provide effective two-way communication between ITS and business areas on IT Service Management issues and activities requiring overarching communication across service and product boundaries, such as Major Incidents and service-impacting changes.
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.
