Solution Architect | 4-Month Contract | Inside IR35 | Hybrid in NW London
Our client, a national sporting governing body, is undertaking a major transformation programme modernising how the organisation operates — covering operating models, technology, data, and place-based planning across its network. They're seeking an experienced Solution Architect to lead discovery and planning activities during a critical 4-month phase.
The Role
You'll define how business capabilities, applications, integrations and technology should evolve to support the future operating model — assessing the current landscape, designing target-state solution architecture, and shaping the technology roadmap that underpins major investment decisions.
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.
