About the Role

We are seeking someone whose career has been built around external digital product leadership — creating products customers actively use, driving adoption at scale and demonstrating clear commercial and customer impact.

You will report directly to the CIO and lead a 30 person function spanning Digital Product, Engineering, Data and Architecture with P&L responsibility.

This role requires someone who is equally comfortable shaping long term strategy with the Board as they are diving into execution detail with their teams.

The Mandate

  • Own the customer facing digital product portfolio
  • Create and own the organisation’s AI strategy, taking it from Board level definition through to scaled, production value delivery
  • Act as a trusted executive board advisor, working directly with the Board on digital, data and AI decisions
  • Operate confidently across the Board and executive committees, influencing investment, risk and transformation priorities
  • Lead an established data capability and refocus it on measurable customer and commercial outcomes
  • Extend product thinking into the technology used by frontline operational teams
  • Build, stabilise and lead a multidisciplinary function at scale
  • Act as a genuine Deputy to the CIO, with a credible pathway to CIO in the future

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.
