Following the evolution of our Target Operating Model, Change has become a standalone capability within Consulting, providing support across Finance & Accounting, Automation, Commercial and wider transformation programmes for both internal stakeholders and external clients.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small but growing team where you'll play a key role in delivering change initiatives while helping to develop our change management methodologies, ways of working and future growth strategy.

  • Ability to be based anywhere across the UK
  • Flexible benefits to meet your needs
  • Training and development opportunities
  • Hybrid role with ad hoc travel as required

Key Responsibilities

  • Developing and delivering change management plans, including impact assessments, stakeholder engagement, communications, training and readiness activities.
  • Leading change activities across transformation programmes to support the successful adoption and embedding of new processes, systems and ways of working.
  • Monitoring change progress, identifying risks and issues, and implementing mitigation activities to support successful delivery.
  • Defining and tracking adoption measures and benefits realisation activities to ensure intended outcomes are achieved and sustained.
  • Building stakeholder engagement and commitment to deliver successful business outcomes.
  • Contributing to the development and growth of the Change Management practice through innovation and continuous improvement.

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.
