Solihull

We have an exciting opportunity for a Programme Manager to join our AT&C Projects and Portfolio team in Solihull.

In role, you will be accountable for the execution of key projects that shape the future capability and capacity of AT&C, at a time where we are growing the business to meet our future demand.

  • Drive adherence to established PM processes and Governance.
  • Influence, manage and communicate with key programme stakeholders' (internal and external).

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.
