The Service Management Architect will play a key role in shaping how technology services are designed, transitioned, governed, and operates across the organisation with an ambition to further modernise service operations through increased automation, improved operational insight, and AI-driven service management capabilities. The role offers the opportunity to work at the centre of large-scale technology and operational transformation initiatives, helping define the standards, frameworks, and service models that underpin the firm's global technology operations.
Responsibilities

- Design end-to-end service architectures for new and existing technology services, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards, scalability, and operational effectiveness.
- Work with business and technology stakeholders to establish clear service ownership, accountability and governance for technology services throughout their lifecycle.
- Translate business and technical requirements into clear service models, defining support models, SLAs, KPIs, and operational processes.
- Lead the operational readiness assessment for new or changed services prior to production, providing a clear Service Management recommendation into Go/No-Go decisions and identifying any risks, gaps or conditions that must be addressed before go-live.
- Participate in governance forums, change advisory boards, and design reviews as the service architecture authority.
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.
