Connect to your Industry
Are you energised by the opportunity to tackle some of the world’s biggest and most complex social, environmental and economic challenges?
Do you get excited about working with a diverse and global team of experts and experienced professionals?
Are you passionate about leading organisations through transformation to deliver value and sustainable benefits to their customers, clients and staff?
If so, Deloitte’s Major Programmes practice could be the place for you!
About the Role
Deloitte’s Major Programmes practice (part of the wider Human Capital offering) is currently recruiting for individuals with industry and technical skills that can strengthen our capability to address complex programme challenges and create conditions for success for the world’s most impactful programmes.
Over the last 50 years, the world has changed significantly, but the approach to tackling these increasingly cross-cutting, capital intensive and technologically complex programmes has not evolved at the same pace. Our clients look to us and our deep and broad programme delivery expertise to lead them through complex transformations and implement new and effective ways to deliver major programmes.
Our market leading next generation delivery approach, Programme Aerodynamics, replaces siloed, conventional, linear thinking with multi-disciplinary capability to help our clients deliver their most critical and demanding programmes while reinforcing Deloitte’s commitment to purpose-led change. Programme Aerodynamics is a fundamentally new approach bringing together mindsets, expertise, methodologies, and solutions from Strategy, Programme, Digital, Programme Leadership and Human Centred Transformation to better anticipate, shape and manage change in Major Programmes. It empowers project leaders to effectively anticipate and manage change, risk and uncertainty across a programme’s lifecycle, shaping its success.
Our practice comprises a blend of those who have worked previously in industry (in both technical and non-technical roles) and those who have prior consulting experience. The strength and value Major Programmes bring to our clients and Deloitte is a result of our collectively diverse and highly relevant industry insights and experience; the complexity of challenges our clients face requires us to leverage this diverse range of skillsets and experiences.
You will have the opportunity to work across a range of impactful programmes, building your skills and experience on the job, as well as supported by our world class professional development approach. You will also experience the breadth of what Deloitte offers, working with colleagues across a range of disciplines in a dynamic and collaborative environment and drawing on our market leading methods, and our global assets and tools.
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.
