What you'll be doing
As a Product Lead, you own a clear slice of a product or journey, from problem definition through to delivery and ongoing optimisation. You are accountable for outcomes, not just output, and you play a critical role in translating product vision into actionable priorities for your team.
- Lead discovery and delivery within a stable cross-functional product team, working closely with engineers, designers, Customer Journey Managers, researchers and business partners.
- Define and prioritise the product backlog, make evidence-led trade-offs, and ensure your team is focused on delivering the highest-value outcomes.
- Use customer insight, data and experimentation to guide decisions, balancing customer desirability, commercial viability, technical feasibility and regulatory requirements.
- Ensure quality, resilience and controls are embedded into product design and delivery.
- Be accountable for safe and sustainable delivery, operating within the organisation's risk appetite and ensuring appropriate governance, controls and reporting are in place.
- Actively develop your product capability and begin supporting the growth of others through coaching, feedback and contribution to product communities.
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.
