Product Owner
£35,000 – £40,000 | Manchester | Hybrid – 3 days per week onsite
You’ve been involved in product decisions. Now you want the opportunity to make them.
Maybe you’re a Business Analyst who wants more influence over the solution. A Product Analyst ready for more ownership. Or you’re already working in Product but feel capable of doing more than managing someone else’s backlog.
This could be the step you’ve been looking for.
You’ll join a scaling Tech4Good business where you’ll have the opportunity to take problems from initial discovery through to delivery, working directly with customers, users, designers and software engineers along the way.
Rather than simply being handed requirements and turning them into tickets, you’ll get involved in understanding the problem in the first place.
- What does the customer actually need?
- What’s causing the friction?
- What should the journey look like?
- What should be prioritised – and why?
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.
Graduate Consultant — 2026 Scheme
Why you're a good match
StrongYour economics background and your summer at a regional bank line up with what PwC looks for on the consulting scheme. Applications close in four weeks.
See breakdownIt searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll then have the ownership to help turn those answers into solutions.
That could mean speaking directly with customers to gather requirements, mapping user journeys, shaping a solution with design and engineering, prioritising the backlog and making decisions when different stakeholders are competing for the same development capacity.
As you build your understanding of the products, customers and wider business, you’ll be trusted with increasing autonomy to make those decisions yourself and influence future product direction.
What you'll bring
You don’t need years of experience as a Product Owner, and Product Owner doesn’t need to be your current job title.
You could currently be a:
- Business Analyst
- Product Analyst
- Associate Product Owner
- Product Specialist
- Product Owner
Or working in another role that has given you meaningful exposure to software product development
You’ll need experience working within an Agile software or digital product environment, with a good understanding of requirements gathering, prioritisation, backlogs and tools such as Jira.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll also need to be comfortable working directly with software engineers and communicating with a range of stakeholders. That includes having the confidence to ask questions, challenge constructively and make decisions when priorities compete.
Experience with customer discovery, journey mapping, design thinking or product growth would be useful, but you don’t need to tick every box.
What matters more is that you’re curious, adaptable and ready to take more ownership.
The team is collaborative and the boundaries between roles aren't rigid. If there's a problem to solve, you'll be encouraged to get involved rather than being limited by what's written in your job description.
So, if you’re doing well in your current role but have started wondering “what’s the next step?”, this could be it.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
