The Role

Aptia has an exciting opportunity for a Project Lead to join its thriving De-Risking Project Team, supporting a key growth area of the business.

You will manage de-risking client relationships for high profile or escalated client projects, supporting the client director and acting as the central point of contact for guidance, billing analysis, and budgeting.

You will work with the client director to prepare costings for new or pipeline project work across the De-risking teams. You will report to the De-risking Operational Director. You will need to demonstrate an adaptable and innovative approach to problem solving, and the ability to build relationships based on honesty, respect, and encouragement to achieve success.

This role is a hybrid position where you will work from any Aptia office as well as from your home address.

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.

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.
