๐ We're Hiring: Operational Readiness Specialist (Design & Transition)
Do you enjoy bringing structure to complex projects and making sure everything is in place before go-live?
We're looking for an Operational Readiness Specialist to join our Design & Transition team at Maintel. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on collaboration, has a keen eye for detail, and enjoys working across technical and operational teams to deliver successful service transitions.
In this role, you'll play a key part in ensuring new and changed managed services are fully operationally ready before they move into live support. From producing high-quality transition documentation and operational handover packs to coordinating readiness with technical and operational teams, you'll help ensure every service is set up for long-term success.
What you'll be doing:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iโm in my final year doing Economics and I donโt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer โ it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโt need a masters. Letโs look at the ones youโd 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 โ that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
