Master Data Management (MDM) Transition Project Management Specialist

📍 UK | Hybrid | 3-Month Contract | Immediate Start

Lead a critical business transformation

We're looking for an experienced Project Management Specialist with Master Data Management (MDM) experience to lead a high-profile transition programme. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in bringing critical Master Data Management activities in-house while working with senior stakeholders across the business.

If you enjoy delivering complex transition projects, improving operational processes and making an immediate impact, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

  • Lead the transition of Master Data Management activities from an external managed service provider to an internal team.
  • Develop and manage project plans, timelines and key milestones.
  • Coordinate stakeholders across business, technology and third-party suppliers.
  • Identify and mitigate project risks and dependencies.
  • Review, improve and create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
  • Produce clear process documentation and transition materials.
  • Support knowledge transfer, onboarding and training activities.
  • Track progress and provide regular status reporting to senior stakeholders.
  • Help ensure operational readiness and a successful handover.

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.
