About The Team

You’ll join Technology & Data Delivery Enablement, a squad-facing function that supports Agile delivery by translating business needs into clear, testable requirements and enabling predictable, high-quality outcomes. The team partners closely with Delivery Owners, Technical Owners, Product Owners, and cross-functional squad members, with strong visibility across technology initiatives.

How You’ll Make An Impact

  • Engage with business stakeholders and end users to elicit, validate, and refine requirements that drive measurable outcomes.
  • Translate business needs into clear, testable, delivery-ready requirements aligned to business strategy and value.
  • Partner with Delivery Owners, Product Owners, and squads on Agile ceremonies (story creation, backlog refinement, sprint planning) to support continuous flow.
  • Identify and surface delivery risks early (e.g., requirement clarity, feasibility, dependencies) and drive mitigations with clear ownership.
  • Maintain high-quality documentation and requirement artifacts in tools such as Jira and Confluence; support testing activities (e.g., smoke testing) to confirm requirements are met.

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.
