We're supporting a global organisation undergoing a significant business and technology transformation and are seeking an exceptional Programme Director to lead one of its most business-critical initiatives.
This isn't a role for someone who simply manages plans and oversees. We're looking for a leader with an outstanding track record of building, developing and leading high-performing teams and relationships, influencing executive stakeholders and delivering complex programmes through the right people, on time and within budget.
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.
