The Opportunity
Project Manager
Newcastle (Hybrid Working)
£55,000
Permanent
Are you an experienced Project Manager looking for the opportunity to work across a wide portfolio of business and technology transformation initiatives?
I'm supporting a growing Change function that is continuing to invest in its project delivery capability and is looking to appoint a Project Manager to support a range of strategic projects across the organisation.
This isn't a role where you'll be tied to one specific programme. Instead, you'll have the opportunity to work across business change, technology transformation, regulatory projects, system implementations, digital initiatives and growth-focused programmes.
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.
