About the Role

Can you turn complex business challenges into clear, effective solutions? Do you enjoy working with stakeholders to shape meaningful change? Have you led analysis that influenced decisions, services or change initiatives?

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is seeking a Senior Business Analyst to join the IT Delivery Management function, based in HQ Southampton. The function enables the organisation to deliver world class services by managing IT portfolios, programmes and projects in line with government policy, value for money and organisational objectives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing stakeholder relationships to support successful project outcomes.
  • Developing the business analysis community through mentoring and sharing best practice.
  • Analysing business problems and opportunities to inform decision-making.
  • Researching organisations, processes, data, technology and ways of working.

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.
