Handle Recruitment is seeking a Project/Programme Manager with varied experience across matrix/blue-chip organisations to join a global tech brand!

This is a 6 month contract to begin ASAP, hybrid working in Central London, day rate equivalent of up to £145k salary

This role involves managing complex, large-scale projects with a strong commercial focus, often across diverse markets and industries. Our client is looking for someone who can handle multiple initiatives autonomously, work confidently with cross-functional teams, and deliver tangible growth outcomes. It's about leading projects from feasibility through to launch or development, all while maintaining a clear strategic and commercial perspective.

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.
