Project Manager – Operations Transformation (Contract) | Payments Technology | Hybrid, UK/Ireland

We're partnering confidentially with a fast-growing global payments technology business on a critical Operations Transformation programme - moving core operations from a 3rd-party-run model onto a company-owned cloud operating model.

This is a delivery-focused contract role, not a governance/PMO-tracking role. You'll own getting every migrated service safely and evidentially into live support.

What you'll do:

  • Drive the target operating model, support model and operational ownership transition
  • Define and secure sign-off of Service Acceptance Criteria (SAC) and Operational Acceptance Criteria (OAC) - no service goes live without evidenced acceptance
  • Build and run Early Life Support / hypercare - rota, entry/exit criteria, defect triage - and control the exit into steady-state BAU
  • Coordinate across Operations, Engineering, Cloud Platform, Security, Finance/FinOps, vendors and migration partners
  • Own operational transformation RAID and readiness tracking, surfacing risks before they become go-live problems

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.
