About the Consultancy
This is an opportunity to join a highly respected, award-winning consultancy delivering transformation across National Security, Defence and Critical National Infrastructure programmes.
The consultancy itself is made up of an agile, experienced and highly diverse team of analysts, strategists and consultants who work alongside clients to solve genuinely complex operational and organisational challenges.
Their clients operate within some of the UK’s most secure and sensitive environments and are responsible for delivering nationally important capabilities and services. Unlike traditional “big consultancy” models, this organisation operates differently. Their clients are not paying for slide decks or consultancy theatre — they are investing in trusted people who can help them design, deliver and embed meaningful change successfully.
The culture is collaborative, hands-on and delivery-focused:
- Getting close to the problem
- Working alongside client teams
- Helping organisations deliver real operational outcomes
- Bringing structure, clarity and momentum to complex programmes
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Many of the consultants have themselves experienced the impersonal nature of larger consultancies and deliberately chose a different approach — one built around trust, collaboration and delivery.

You will help clients:
- Shape and deliver transformation

What You’ll Be Doing
- Building trusted relationships across technical, operational and senior stakeholder communities
- Leading workshops, stakeholder engagements and structured problem-solving sessions
- Translating complex requirements into clear, actionable outputs
- Producing high-quality written deliverables, reports and client briefings
- Supporting Agile delivery environments across Product, Project, Business Analysis and Business Change functions
- Analysing data and operational information to support evidence-based decision making
- Supporting transformation delivery across secure and complex programmes
- Contributing to internal capability growth, recruitment and consultancy development initiatives
What They’re Looking For
- Active eDV clearance (or previously held within the last 9 months)
- Experience operating within National Security, Defence, Government or Critical National Infrastructure environments
