We're looking for an experienced Programme Test Manager to lead quality assurance across a major protection insurance transformation and migration programme. This is a 12-month contract, working hybrid from Edinburgh or Manchester, with occasional travel to London and Dublin.

You'll take ownership of the overall test strategy and integrated test plan, bringing together multiple workstreams, vendors and delivery teams. The programme involves implementing and customising a new Policy Administration System and migrating around 280,000 in-force policies across the UK and Ireland.

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.
