Meticulous planner. Skilled facilitator. Quiet diplomat.

If you are the person who can walk into an initiative with bold goals, multiple workstreams, and diverse stakeholders, and walk out with a plan everyone has signed up to, this is a role where you can shine.

The Strategic Delivery team sits within Global Commercial and Marketing and takes the priorities that matter most from concept through to launch and adoption. The work spans global brand launches, new products and services, process improvements, and new ways of working. With opportunities to work across diverse business challenges and stakeholder groups, this role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, continuous learning, and the pace of project-based work. You do not need to be a subject matter expert in every space. Your role is to create the framework, alignment, and momentum that enables expert teams to deliver their best work.

As Strategic Delivery Manager, you will lead various projects and own how each of them moves forward. You will provide project management leadership that brings clarity, coordination, and accountability, keeping teams aligned and work moving toward completion. A portion of your capacity will also support strategy work, helping define opportunities, develop insights, and shape areas of focus that inform future priorities and projects.

You will report to our Senior Strategic Delivery Manager in the US, with a dotted line into the Windsor strategy team, working three days a week from our global headquarters in Windsor.

What you'll do

  • Run projects and initiatives from first scoping through launch, development, and adoption.
  • Turn competing priorities into workplans with ownership, milestones and dependencies, and decision points.
  • Establish delivery routines, governance, and reporting that create transparency and alignment.
  • Track progress, manage risks, and drive resolution of issues that could impact delivery.
  • Coordinate stakeholder communications and leadership updates.
  • Partner with business teams in other regions to localise and implement global initiatives.
  • Contribute insights and analysis that help inform future priorities and strategic initiatives.

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.
