Create tomorrow together. Join our WPS business to lead the technology side of complex contract mobilisations—bringing people, platforms and processes together so our customers get a seamless start from day one. You'll head up a talented team of Project Managers and Business Analysts, own the IT mobilisation plan end-to-end, and represent IT at every key forum from kick-off to go-live and hypercare.

What you'll lead 🧭

  • Mobilisation leadership: Own milestones, dependencies and stage-gates through go-live and post-go-live support. 🔄🗓️
  • People leadership: Line-manage PMs and BAs—setting objectives, coaching delivery excellence, and building a high-performing practice. 👥🌱
  • Systems & integrations: Oversee configuration and integrations between WPS platforms and client/supplier systems (APIs, file exchanges), ensuring data quality, security and performance. 🔗🛡️📊
  • Stakeholder engagement: Build trusted relationships with clients, suppliers and internal teams; chair design reviews, readiness forums and cutover command centres. 🤝🧩

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.
