Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It 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.
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.
The Role:
- Shape and maintain the overall program roadmap, pulling together planning inputs and forward projections from every workstream
- Serve as the bridge between the delivery organisation and launch-readiness activity, with regular visibility to, and influence over, the leadership team
- Hold the purse strings on delivery spend, anticipating what funding will be needed and when
- Steer clients towards operating-model choices that ensure the programme delivers the value it promises
- Partner with the board and PMO to put strong governance in place, spotting and managing risks before they become problems
Skills Required:
- A solid program management or digital transformation background, with change initiatives you've taken from inception through to delivery, ideally in a product launch context
- Fluency in the major delivery approaches, whether Agile, Waterfall or a blend of both
- Professional accreditation along the lines of MSP, PRINCE2, APMQ or Scrum Master
- A natural leader and communicator who can defuse tension and get things moving in complicated organisational settings
- Exposure to Service Design thinking and the Microsoft Azure/Dynamics stack would set you apart
- Must have full right to work in the UK
