What To Expect

As a Lead Project Manager, you will join us on our transformation journey and undertake a high-impact role responsible for leading the delivery of complex HR and technology transformation projects that support our strategic objectives and business priorities.

You will work collaboratively with stakeholders across the business, reporting directly to the Transformation Delivery Director and partnering closely with the Programme Sponsor to ensure successful project delivery, effective governance, and the achievement of key outcomes. Joining a well-established and mature transformation environment, you will operate within existing governance frameworks and delivery structures, enabling you to quickly embed into the programme and make an immediate impact.

This role offers you a unique opportunity to shape critical transformation initiatives, drive meaningful change, and contribute to the future success of our organisation and the communities we serve.

  • Up to 18% on target bonus opportunity
  • Annual car allowance
  • Generous pension scheme with minimum 9% employer contribution
  • Access to 24/7 digital GP services and our Employee Assistance Programme
  • 6 x Life assurance and income protection after 12 months service
  • Over 400 online courses, mentoring, apprenticeships, and development programmes
  • Access to our benefits platform for exclusive discounts & savings

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.
