If you're a DB pensions professional who has moved into project, product or transformation, this could be a very interesting next step.
I'm working on a newly created role with a business that is building something quite interesting within the DB pensions market and more importantly, this isn't a role where you'll be handed a project plan and asked to keep everyone on track. You'll have the opportunity to shape how a new proposition is built, implemented and brought to market.
The immediate focus is on taking a new DB proposition through authorisation and implementation, working closely with internal pensions specialists, actuaries, technology teams and senior stakeholders, while also managing a key third-party technology provider.
So, we're looking for someone who can sit comfortably between DB pensions, technology, product and project delivery.
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.

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.
Someone who understands the detail of DB administration and transactions, but also has the project management capability to take that knowledge and turn it into something that actually works.
Why this role is different:
- Newly created. You're not inheriting someone else's project
- Genuine opportunity to shape the proposition and operating model
- Significant exposure to senior stakeholders
- Responsibility for managing a key technology/platform implementation
- Opportunity to influence how DB products are delivered through technology
- A broader roadmap beyond the initial project, giving the role genuine long-term scope
- The chance to work on something that could have a meaningful impact on the DB market
I'm particularly interested in speaking with people from DB pensions administration, EBCs/consultancies, insurers, pension platforms or other pensions technology businesses.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You might be a Project Manager, Product Manager, Implementation Manager, Transformation Manager or even a technical/Project Actuary.
What matters most is that you have genuine DB pensions knowledge alongside strong delivery skills.
Experience of buy-in/buyout transactions, pension platform implementations or managing third-party technology providers would be particularly attractive.
You don't need to have done everything before. In fact, if you're someone who has spent several years building your DB knowledge and has subsequently moved into project/product delivery, this could be exactly the sort of opportunity worth exploring.
