London hybrid

3-4 days per week onsite

Immediate start

We are seeking SC-cleared consultants to join a high-profile public-sector programme focused on cost optimisation, commercial improvement, and strategic sourcing.

This is an opportunity to work within a fast-paced delivery environment, helping organisations identify efficiencies, optimise spend, improve commercial outcomes and deliver measurable value.

We're particularly interested in candidates with strong consulting fundamentals, including structured problem-solving, stakeholder engagement, analysis, and delivery management. Experience in procurement, commercial, sourcing or supply chain environments is beneficial, but consulting capability is significantly more important than sector-specific expertise.

Successful candidates will be comfortable working with ambiguity, managing workstreams independently and producing high-quality client-facing deliverables within complex stakeholder environments.

Security Clearance – Essential Requirement

You must already hold active, transferable SC Clearance

Due To The Nature And Timescales Of This Programme

  • You must currently hold active UK Government Security Check (SC) Clearance.
  • Your clearance must be transferable to a new government assignment.
  • You must be available to start immediately or at short notice.

We Cannot Consider Candidates Who

  • Previously held SC Clearance that has expired or lapsed.
  • Are eligible to obtain SC Clearance but do not currently hold it.
  • Require sponsorship for a new SC clearance application.
  • Hold clearances that are not transferable to UK Government projects.

Applications that do not meet this requirement will not be progressed. If you are unclear, you can learn more about national security clearance levels here.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Deliver consulting workstreams with limited supervision.
  • Support cost optimisation, value improvement and efficiency initiatives.
  • Contribute to strategic sourcing and commercial improvement activities.
  • Gather, analyse and synthesise quantitative and qualitative information.
  • Develop client-ready reports, presentations and recommendations.
  • Structure complex problems into clear and actionable work plans.
  • Build relationships with senior stakeholders.
  • Facilitate workshops, meetings and stakeholder discussions.
  • Manage risks, issues and dependencies across delivery activities.
  • Support programme governance, planning and reporting.
  • Work collaboratively within high-performing consulting teams.

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.
