At Starfish Search, we are working with a leading international charity as it strengthens its technology leadership at a pivotal moment. The organisation is midway through a major transformation programme and the charity is looking to appoint an experienced interim leader to provide technology direction and coordinate its role across this significant change.

THE ROLE

You will be the most senior technology voice within the organisation. This is a leadership, coordination and line management role in need of someone who understands how technology functions operate and can bring structure, direction and cohesion.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

  • A core part of the role is acting as the key point of coordination between the organisation and a wider transformation programme spanning multiple strategic workstreams.
  • You will not be expected to represent the organisation across every element of this work, but you will hold the various threads together, working closely with senior transformation leadership to ensure alignment and effective engagement.

You will also lead the redesign of the organisation’s technology roadmap and strategy, and bring fresh thinking on innovation and modernisation, with awareness of target operating model approaches. Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, you will need to keep the SLT fully briefed on progress, particularly given the scale of change involved, and will build credible relationships with senior stakeholders across the organisation and beyond.
