Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The majority of our roles can be performed predominantly remotely, however, we are not a fully remote organisation as we recognise the importance of face-to-face connection, so you will be expected to spend some time in the office. We operate from our Global Hub at Victoria Square House in Birmingham and maintain a small presence in Central London.
Our Global Hub is located in Birmingham, which is our primary location, however, many of our employees are located across the UK. Therefore, working in another location may be required on occasion. You will be expected to commute to your usual place (Birmingham) of work at your own cost and any requests for you to travel further will be compensated.
Main purpose of the role
DCMS is in the final stages of development of the Short Term Lets (STL) scheme. It is envisaged that this scheme will transfer to VisitEngland’s management in late 2026. The scheme will require the owners of STLs to register their property online and pay a registration fee. A registration number will be allocated to the property, and owners will require this before they can advertise. Automated processes are being set up to enable registration numbers to be checked, to avoid errors and fraud, and it is anticipated that offline processes will also be employed.
A Solutions Architect – Cloud and Security will be a key member of a small VisitEngland team, who will work closely with the DCMS team leading the development of the scheme, and the 3rd party who is building the technical solution. Other roles in the team will include a Finance Specialist, Business Analyst with Data specialism, and Senior Digital Product Manager.
