Change Delivery Operations Lead - Change Delivery

We are looking for a Change Delivery Operations Lead to help our Delivery Squads navigate governance, risk, assurance and operational demands effectively. This role is suited to someone who can reduce delivery friction, translate control expectations and provide clear senior-level insight without duplicating project, planning or governance accountabilities.

What you'll be doing

  • Act as an operational interface between Delivery Squads, Risk, Assurance and Audit teams.
  • Coordinate delivery inputs, evidence and responses for assurance, RCSA and control activity.
  • Anticipate delivery pressure points and surface material risks early.
  • Prepare concise, outcome-focused narratives for senior governance forums.
  • Support critical delivery incidents, readiness activity, cutover, release and route-to-live coordination.
  • Highlight emerging resource, capacity or cost pressures through appropriate planning and governance routes.
  • Identify recurring operational issues and contribute to continuous improvement across delivery operations.

What you'll bring

  • Strong experience across delivery, risk, assurance, governance or portfolio environments.
  • Excellent judgement, challenge and influencing skills without relying on formal authority.
  • Ability to translate complex delivery and control information into clear senior insight.
  • Experience operating in regulated, governance-led or control-focused environments.
  • Strong cross-functional coordination and issue management capability.
  • Calm, pragmatic and outcome-focused approach under pressure.
  • Continuous improvement mindset focused on delivery flow and control effectiveness.

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.
