Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Facilitating workshops, gathering requirements, and supporting the development of business cases and transformation initiatives.

The Person
We’re looking for a proven, hands-on Project Manager with:
-
Midweight or proven experience in delivering business change, transformation, or service improvement projects in complex organisations (while the role involves some technology elements, the focus is on holistic business transformation).
