About the role

As a Project Manager you will be responsible for the planning and execution of the Project Management Plan, encompassing the Project Plan, Risk and Issue Management, Change Management, Stakeholder communications and deliverable/objective tracking.

You will lead a cross functional team of professionals in supporting you to ensure that project expectations are agreed and met. You will work closely with the Business Consultant team to ensure a smooth process from commercial engagement through to project delivery and beyond. You will also work closely with the product management group to provide structured customer feedback based on customer interaction. During the life cycle of the project, you will be the most visible member of the Comply365 team to your customer and the key point of contact throughout the organisation.

This role is hybrid to our Bristol office with the expectation of attending the office 3 days per week.

What You'll Be Doing

Lifecycle governance & gate management

  • Lead and facilitate Phase Gate Reviews as formal decision forums across the delivery lifecycle, ensuring progression decisions are explicit and criteria-based
  • Validate readiness across scope, dependencies/resources, and outcomes (including completion and quality of prior-phase deliverables), using evidence to confirm the work is ready to progress
  • Ensure phase progression is based on validated readiness and defined criteria; enforce gate classification (hard, conditional, transitional), and challenge, block, or escalate when criteria are not met (vs. facilitating progression)

Project planning & execution

  • Develop and execute Project Management Plans and Project Plans to deliver Comply365 products and services on time and on budget
  • Manage day-to-day operational aspects of delivery, including scope tracking, sequencing, and milestone/objective management
  • Track project deliverables using appropriate tooling (e.g., Monday.com) to enable efficient and accurate reporting

PSDD baseline integrity & change governance

  • Maintain alignment between delivery execution and the PSDD baseline (contractual scope, sequencing, and commitments)
  • Identify and escalate deviations from the PSDD baseline (scope drift/expansion, dependency changes, resource/sequencing impacts); assess change magnitude and trigger formal governance (and, where needed, regression to the appropriate gate) rather than managing material changes informally
  • Ensure changes are documented, communicated, and governed appropriately

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.
