The Opportunity
We’re partnering with a well-established professional services business looking to hire a hands-on IT Manager to lead their internal ICT function and support the next phase of their technology journey.
This role will manage a small team of 2 people whilst remaining heavily involved technically across infrastructure, support, networking, systems and project delivery.
The business is currently investing significantly in technology, infrastructure and cloud adoption, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys improving environments, implementing new solutions and helping move an IT function from reactive support into proactive planning and modernisation.
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.
