Are you a technically minded graduate who enjoys understanding how things work, solving problems and finding better ways of doing things?
We’re looking for a Graduate IT & Business Process Analyst to join Arvato UK in a unique role sitting between our IT and Business Process Management (BPM) teams.

- Work with IT, Business Process Management and operational teams to understand business requirements.
- Map and analyse existing business processes.
- Help identify process issues, inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
- Support the investigation of system and process-related problems.
- Use data and logical thinking to help identify root causes.

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.
