Role: Project Manager

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're supporting a leading organisation delivering technology programmes across the UK Defence and National Security sector. We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex IT, software and digital transformation projects within highly secure environments.

This is an opportunity to work on high-profile programmes, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver solutions that make a tangible operational impact.

You'll work closely with technical teams, customers and senior stakeholders while managing project governance, risks and delivery performance.

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.
