Project Manager (Defence-Software)

Location: Hybrid in Central London

We are currently partnering with an industry-leading organisation within the defence sector to find an experienced Project Manager to join their EMEA Defence team in London.

In this mission-critical role, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of complex defence software projects and act as the primary delivery interface for Royal Navy customers.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead end-to-end project execution from planning through deployment and support, ensuring delivery within agreed scope, budget, quality, and timelines.
  • Serve as the primary delivery point of contact for Royal Navy customers, building trusted relationships through proactive engagement and clear communication.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams—including Engineering, Consultancy, Solution Architecture, and Product functions—to align technical deliverables with customer requirements.
  • Oversee project governance, risk management, RAID logs, budgets, forecasts, and compliance with strict security and contractual standards.

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.
