Overview

This Senior Project Manager role focuses on leading the feasibility assessment and business case development for the potential transfer of a MasterTrust business from a major UK life insurance entity to a subsidiary wealth management company. You will coordinate the assessment of strategic, financial, regulatory, operational, customer, capital, and technology implications, creating robust recommendations for Executive and Board consideration. This position is focused on evaluation and decision support rather than the direct delivery of the transfer itself.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the feasibility assessment and business case development for the transfer of a MasterTrust business between legal entities.
  • Coordinate the assessment of strategic, financial, regulatory, operational, customer, capital, and technology implications of the transfer.
  • Develop a robust recommendation and business case for presentation to the Executive team and Board.
  • Focus on evaluation and decision support to guide the project's direction.
  • Build and maintain comprehensive project plans, including management of scope, budget, and resources.
  • Proactively manage RAID (risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies) to ensure project stability.
  • Establish and maintain appropriate governance and controls throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Ensure transparent and timely reporting to stakeholders while facilitating effective collaboration across cross-functional teams to deliver agreed outcomes.

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.
