Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What you'll be doing
- Run discovery workshops with stakeholders and engineers, trace circuits/VPNs/application dependencies through the Date Centre, maintain an application and ownership register, and feed findings into the Project Manager's planning and risk assessment.
- Dedicated project work supporting the Analysis & Discovery phase of the migration/exit programme (up to 12 months), not BAU or ongoing operations.
- Establish exactly what runs through its transit Data Centre and who owns it, given that no single record fully captures this today across 30 racks, multiple circuits and roughly 500 applications.
- Work alongside the Senior Project Manager, client stakeholders, application owners, engineers from the incumbent DC/network provider, and 3rd parties.
- Support RAID log maintenance, workshop facilitation, and documentation for the scope-change justification pack.
- Flexibility may be needed to support discovery sessions or change windows outside standard hours.
