Interim Product Transformation Director - Outside - £900-950 per day
6 months (strong potential to go permanent) | UK, hybrid | Immediate start preferred
Our client is a fast-growing services business moving from project-based delivery to a product-centric operating model, and needs an interim leader to drive that transformation from the ground up.
This isn't a mature product function to inherit - you'll be standing up the capability model and operating model while delivering live product work at the same time, roughly 50:50.
The role
As part of the technology leadership team, you'll lead the transition to product-centric delivery across a multi-disciplinary team of product managers, business analysts, delivery managers, and change managers. You'll own the business capability model and product portfolio, and drive the shift to product-centric ways of working across the business.
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.
