Description

At Ignite Systems, we help insurers and brokers transform the way they operate through innovative technology, data, and digital solutions. As our client portfolio continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of client projects while acting as a trusted partner throughout the implementation journey.

This is a highly collaborative and client-facing role that combines project management, delivery leadership, business analysis, and stakeholder management. You'll work closely with customers, internal product teams, and technical specialists to ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with tangible business value.

If you enjoy building strong client relationships, leading complex technology deliveries, and bringing teams together to solve business challenges, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

What You'll Be Doing

As a Project Manager, you'll take ownership of client delivery engagements from initiation through to successful implementation and adoption.

You Will

  • Lead end-to-end project delivery, overseeing scope, timelines, budgets, resources, risks, and project governance
  • Work directly with clients to understand business objectives, requirements, and desired outcomes
  • Facilitate requirements gathering workshops and translate business needs into clear deliverables and user stories
  • Manage project plans, delivery milestones, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder communications
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Quality, and client stakeholders
  • Drive project progress, proactively resolving blockers and ensuring delivery remains on track
  • Own project reporting, providing clear visibility of status, risks, issues, and key decisions
  • Support solution validation, testing activities, user acceptance testing (UAT), and release readiness
  • Ensure successful deployment and transition into business-as-usual operations
  • Build strong relationships with customers and act as a trusted advisor throughout the delivery lifecycle

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.
