Join as a Change Programme Assurance Manager
In this influential role, you'll work with the teams delivering the most important programmes of change within the bank to ensure their successful delivery. You'll challenge and support senior programme leaders - gaining their confidence and contributing to the successful delivery of the programme, its outcomes and its benefits. This is an opportunity to build excellent relationships with senior leadership across the bank, giving you and your work great exposure. You'll spend at least two days per week in the office, with the rest of your time working from home.
What you'll do
As a Change Programme Assurance Manager, you use your expertise and judgement to make sure that programmes are set up for success - while also determining the best remedies to recover programmes under issue or challenge. You'll build strong working relationships with colleagues - always able to challenge them on their programme status while helping to bring out the required behaviours and techniques for success.
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.
