  • Conduct comprehensive change impact assessments to identify risks, opportunities, and stakeholder requirements across people, process, and technology dimensions
  • Design and execute targeted communication and engagement strategies, including the development of digital adoption capabilities and web-based communication channels
  • Build and coordinate Communications Networks to ensure consistent, clear messaging to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Manage Early Life Support delivery and hypercare activities during system go-live periods, ensuring smooth transitions and rapid issue resolution
  • Develop business readiness preparations and transition management plans to support handover to operational service teams
  • Contribute specialist change management expertise to programme planning, helping shape delivery timelines and resource requirements
  • Demonstrate proactive engagement with stakeholders at all levels, fostering effective working relationships across the organisation
  • Evaluate user needs and build targeted change interventions that address gaps in people capability, process design, and technology adoption

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.
