About the role
I'm hiring a Senior Business Analyst for a digital transformation partner delivering mission critical programmes across UK national security.
You'll sit at the centre of delivery. Defining the problem, shaping the solution, and keeping users at the heart of it, this is hands on BA work on programmes that matter. Not slideware.

eDV clearance is essential. You must hold live eDV to be considered.
What you'll do
- Understand and define the problem to be solved
- Translate user needs into clear user stories
- Help the delivery team choose the best approach, prioritise work and deliver to an agreed MVP
- Support testing and make sure functionality meets user and business needs
- Support the Product Owner in building and shaping the backlog
- Model business processes, as is and to be
- Manage stakeholders across technical and non technical audiences
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.
