We're looking for a Portfolio Benefits Lead to drive benefits realisation across a major transformation portfolio.
Working with senior stakeholders across Operations, Finance and Transformation, you'll ensure strategic investments deliver measurable business value through robust benefits planning, tracking and reporting.

- Lead benefits realisation across the transformation portfolio.
- Develop the frameworks, governance and reporting needed to measure and track value.
- Partner with programme and operational teams to identify, quantify and baseline benefits.
- Ensure benefits are linked to strategic objectives, business cases and investment decisions.
- Create benefits maps and reporting that clearly demonstrate value delivery.
- Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across the business.
- Drive accountability for benefit ownership and delivery.
- Support the successful transition of change into operational teams.
- Embed a culture focused on delivering measurable business value.
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.
