As a Team

Joining the team means becoming part of a community of Enterprise Architects operating at the intersection of business strategy, technology, and industry transformation within the Banking sector. Our role goes beyond designing target architectures: we help senior leaders frame complex problems, explore strategic options, and make informed decisions in environments characterised by scale, regulation, legacy technology, and ongoing change.

We work closely with executives, engineers, product teams, and third-party partners to translate evolving business ambitions into coherent architectural direction. This frequently involves navigating ambiguity, challenging established norms, and balancing long-term vision with near-term feasibility.

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.
