Interim Head of IT (initial 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract)

Salary: £90,000 pro rata

Contract: 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract

Working Pattern: Full-time, 5 days per week onsite

We are seeking an experienced Interim Head of IT to provide leadership and continuity during a period of transition. This role will take ownership of the IT function, work closely with the outgoing Head of IT to ensure a smooth handover, and support the organisation in recruiting a permanent successor (they would be open to considering hiring on a permanent basis).

Leading a team of IT professionals, you will be responsible for maintaining stable, secure and effective IT operations while ensuring key technology and digital transformation initiatives continue to deliver value. The role combines hands-on operational leadership with strategic oversight, stakeholder engagement and commercial management.

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.
