Role: IT Manager
Salary: £75,000 - £80,000
Location: Hampshire or West Sussex
Flexible working: Hybrid

I am working with an international manufacturing business in the search for an experienced IT Manager to lead their UK & Portugal infrastructure team and play a key role in transforming their IT function.

This is a genuinely hands-on leadership role, ideal for someone who enjoys solving technical challenges while leading a small team and driving strategic improvements. The environment is currently going through significant change, so this is an opportunity to make a real impact rather than simply maintain the status quo.

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.
