This will be a 12 Month FTC, before a potential conversion to a permanent role, and will require 2 days per week on-site in Birmingham.

  • Manage project budgets, forecasts and financial reporting.
  • Establish and maintain effective project governance, including regular status reporting and governance forums.
  • Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, delivery teams and third-party suppliers.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure activities remain aligned with agreed objectives and timelines.

  • Support delivery using Agile, Waterfall or hybrid methodologies depending on project requirements.

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.
