We're looking for an experienced Lead Business Analyst to join Phase 2 of a major RFID transformation programme.

This is a hybrid Business Analysis and Project Delivery/Management role, requiring someone who can lead discovery activities while also driving planning, coordination, governance, and delivery readiness across the programme.

  • Facilitating workshops with business and technology stakeholders to define scope, priorities, and objectives.
  • Producing high-quality documentation including requirements, process maps, user stories, business cases, and reporting packs.
  • Analysing current and future-state processes and identifying opportunities for improvement.
  • Supporting project planning, governance, RAID management, and stakeholder reporting.
  • Coordinating activities across multiple workstreams, ensuring dependencies, risks, and milestones are effectively managed.
  • Supporting vendor assessments, solution evaluations, and programme decision-making.
  • Working closely with Retail Operations, Technology, Supply Chain, and Programme teams to define and shape the next phase of delivery.

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.
