We are seeking an experienced SAP Technical Architect to lead the design, governance, and optimisation of enterprise SAP landscapes across a large-scale SAP transformation programme.

Working closely with business stakeholders, solution architects, Basis teams, developers, and integration specialists, you will provide technical leadership across the full SAP ecosystem while ensuring alignment with business and technology roadmaps.
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.
