SR2 is recruiting for an experienced Product Manager to join a collaborative digital team delivering a business-critical platform within a secure government environment. Working on a high-profile programme, you'll be responsible for shaping the product roadmap, prioritising demand and ensuring the service continues to evolve in line with strategic objectives and user needs. Due to the nature of the work, applicants must already hold active Security Check (SC) clearance to be considered.
You'll play a key role in leading product direction, working closely with senior stakeholders, technical teams, and governance groups to balance competing priorities and maximise value. The successful candidate will be confident operating autonomously, making product decisions, managing a transparent backlog, and communicating roadmap priorities across a complex stakeholder landscape.
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.
