Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Solutions Architect to join a high-profile, multi-year global digital transformation. As the strategic bridge between the New York-based global team and local operational initiatives, you will drive hands-on solution design across end-to-end supply chain planning systems.
This role requires a technical authority who can align international stakeholders on transformation standards, govern off-shore delivery teams, and design robust architectures for physical product movement across demand planning, supply planning, and master production scheduling.
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.
