Join us as a Strategy Manager at NatWest Boxed

In this key role, you’ll support all aspects of our strategic activities to help articulate, deliver, and align to our overall strategy and purpose in NatWest BaaS and Mettle.

Day-to-day, you’ll be improving our customers’ experiences and delivering stated outcomes and measures in the most efficient and cost-effective way.

In return, you’ll enjoy valuable exposure to our senior stakeholders, including executive committees.

This role is available for a period of 9 months.

What you'll do

As a Strategy Manager, you’ll be contributing to the achievement of our business area's goals by providing appropriate and clear strategies. You’ll be helping to provide strategic analysis, customer insights and market context to support the development of our strategy while making sure that best in class approaches and lessons learned are built into our business strategy.

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.
