MCS Group is partnering with a fast-growing software business to appoint an experienced Project Manager. This is a client-facing role delivering complex software implementation projects for major financial institutions. The successful candidate will take ownership from initial planning through to go-live, working closely with banking clients and internal delivery teams to keep projects on track.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious software company, take ownership of high-profile client projects and work directly with some of the largest organisations in financial services.

The Role

As a PM you will:

  • Lead projects from kick-off through to go-live
  • Manage scope, budgets, timelines, risks, and dependencies
  • Work directly with banking clients and senior stakeholders across financial services
  • Coordinate delivery across Product, Engineering, and Client Services
  • Create a smooth onboarding and implementation experience
  • Manage change effectively and keep projects moving at pace
  • Build trusted relationships and act as a key point of contact throughout delivery

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.
